Quick Installation Sheet
1.
IMPORTANT!
In the event the GX is:
• Modified or altered by any party other than Corning; or
• Subjected to misuse or improper handling or installation;
Corning’s product warranty will be void and no longer valid. This includes replacing or removing connectors in
the field during installation.
2. In both indoor and outdoor applications, the GX unit should be mounted vertically with the connectors facing
upwards/downwards.
IMPORTANT!
If the GX is mounted horizontally in an indoor application, sufficient cooling must be ensured
(i.e., air conditioning) and a sufficient tethering harness is required.
3.
IMPORTANT!
OptiTap® pull-out force ranges from a few lb to 50+ lb with the dust cap or connector installed.
This prevents damages caused to the DAS unit.
4. For deployments with the Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solution, the following additional elements
are required (ordered separately):
• Optical central hub (OCH-4-WDM/OCH-8-WDM) – performs the RF-to-optical conversion of the service signal
• Interface box (IFB) – interfaces between the headend unit (HEU/IHU) and OCH
• ERFCv2-OCH cable – extender cable interfacing to the RIX module and the OCH
• SC-450 unit – system controller required for GX management
5. Two people are required for mounting – unit weight: 147 lb (66.6 kg)
6. Wooden pole-mountable option accessory kit (AK-GX-QUAD-BRKT-WDPOLE) is available (ordered separately).
Instructions are provided with the kit.
7. For deployments alongside GX quad-band remotes – via the GX 2x1 external low-band and high-band combiner
(P/N: AK-GX-LH-COMB).
