3.1 Separate Mount Parts for an ODU with the Waveguide
Interface
When an ODU with the waveguide interface adopts the separate mount mode, the installation
parts include an ODU adapter and a flexible waveguide.
3.1.1 ODU Adapter
When you install an ODU or a hybrid coupler on a pole, an ODU adapter is used to convert the
feed boom interface on the ODU or hybrid coupler into a standard flange interface, for the
connection of a flexible waveguide.
3.1.2 Flexible Waveguide
A flexible waveguide is in rectangular form. It is used to connect the flange interface on an
antenna to the flange interface on an ODU adapter.
3.1.3 Flange Converter
When the flange interface of an antenna or ODU adapter cannot be directly interconnected with
the flange interface of a separately separate mount part such as flexible waveguide, a waveguide-
to-coaxial converter, or a coaxial hybrid coupler, due to a mismatch between the specifications,
a flange converter is used to convert the interfaces.
3.1.1 ODU Adapter
When you install an ODU or a hybrid coupler on a pole, an ODU adapter is used to convert the
feed boom interface on the ODU or hybrid coupler into a standard flange interface, for the
connection of a flexible waveguide.
