A five-foot long coaxial cable is also provided with each Model 8227. This cable
connects the amplifier to the Model 8226 surge suppressor. This cable is rated for
indoor usage only.
Refer to Figure 2-6 for Model 8227 installation guidelines. The cable lengths shown in
Figure 2-6 represent Spectracom CAL7xxx cable. The equivalent cable loss expressed
in dB, is provided for use with other cables.
Place the inline amplifier within 200 feet (10 dB cable loss) of the antenna to optimize
the signal to noise ratio. Whenever possible install the inline amplifier indoors and
after the impulse suppressor. Connect the surge suppressor to the inline amplifier
using the supplied 5-foot cable. The amplifier can be installed outdoors, providing care
is taken to weatherproof the connections.
