CONNECTING THE SUBSCRIBER CABLES
Terminate the Subscriber Cables with good quality F Connectors and
connect to the Subscriber Outputs. The F Connectors should be fitted to
the coaxial cable correctly, ensuring that the centre core protrudes 3mm
above the F Connector body. See figure 3. Ensure that you do not exceed
the bending radius of the Coaxial Cable being used. The Subscriber Cables
may be arranged either side of the Multiswitch before being terminated and
connected. If required, the Subscriber Cables may be arranged to one side of
the Multiswitch, with the cables passing under the Multiswitch before being
terminated and connected to the Subscriber Outputs on the opposite side.
See figure 4.
Earth Bonding
Earth bond the Multiswitch to the Earth Bonding Lug and/or the Earth
Terminal Bars using minimum 4mm² Earth Bonding Cable. It is best practise to
earth bond across the Earth Bars of all components within a single IRS System
using a single unbroken Earth Bonding Wire. To achieve this, strip away 3cm
of the insulation of a length of 4mm² Earth Bonding Wire. See Figure 1.
Unscrew the Earth Bolt on the Earth Terminal Bar to provide enough clearance
to wrap the Earth Bonding Wire around the Earth Bolt. See Figure 2. Tighten
the Earth Bolt and route the Earth Bonding Wire to all other Earth Terminal
Bars and terminate as detailed above. Make sure that the Earth Bonding Cable
is connected directly to the building’s PME.
