Preparation
This appendix describes the cable preparation details and has these sections:

B.1 Coax Cable Preparation
Use high quality coaxial outdoor cable to connect the iQ Satellite Router to the
Outdoor Unit (ODU) equipment. iDirect recommends that a solid copper center conductor,
coaxial cable be used with a minimum of 60% + 40% braid and double foil shield to connect the
equipment, such as:
• RG-6 — 0.04 inch (1 mm), outdoor rated, Quad Shielded, solid bare copper center
conductor, for cable lengths less than or equal to 170 feet (52 meters)
• RG-11 — 0.064 inch (1.6 mm), outdoor rated, Quad Shielded, solid bare copper center
conductor, for cable lengths less than or equal to 260 feet (79 meters)
Before connecting the cables, connectors on each end must be installed.
The center conductor must be straight and extend 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) beyond the end of the F-
connector, and the connector should be securely crimped to the cable.
If different types of coaxial cable are used other than the recommended quad shield RG-6 or
RG-11, the following problems can occur:
NOTE: The procedures in this section, for preparing coaxial cables, are meant to
be generic. Cables and connectors should be installed per manufacturer’s
requirements specific to the brands preferred. In general, specific and detailed
instructions are for RG-6 cables and connectors, only.
NOTE: The cable lengths mentioned below are only guidelines and the actual
performance depends on the quality of the coaxial cable used and the
installation.
NOTE: iDirect does not recommend using RG-59 with solid bare copper center
conductor. RG-6 or RG-11 Quad Shield or other outdoor quality, 75-ohm type of
coax can be used.
