Unpacking and Inspection
Each unit is shipped factory tested. Ensure all items are removed from the packing container prior to
discarding any packing material.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for shipping damage with particular attention to connectors. If there is any
sign of damage to the unit or damaged or loose connectors contact your distributor immediately. Do not
put the equipment into service if there is any indication of defect or damage.
Proper Cable Layout Design/Fiber Loss Budget
Before installing make sure that you have the proper cable layout for the project including:
1.
The CAT cable per 568 standards for video drops
2.
The layout is especially important for the coax cascade as it can be done with different
designs, some which might not be optimum.

Required Equipment for Installation
Installing a Distribution ZHC requires the following:
1. Standard Rack Mounting tools
2. Field RF Meter capable of measuring levels and signal quality.
(Z-Band can assist
with evaluating or procuring the proper equipment).
A proper installation cannot
be done without out the appropriate meter! Z-Band can be of minimal help in
diagnosing issues without a meter on site.
3. If a fiber backbone is used, a Fiber Level Meter is again strongly recommended.
