Follow these steps to prepare and route the RF,
power, and data cables to the antenna location.
You need to connect two 75 RF coax cables
from the antenna location to the ICM. Refer to
Figure 12 to determine the type of cables and
connectors you can use for your cable run. Then
prepare the cables as described below.
* Cables from KVH include the proper connectors.
** LMR tool kits from KVH include a torque wrench.

Strip lengths
• If you use RG-11 RF cables 80-100 ft (25-
30 m) in length, you can avoid the modem
commissioning step. See “Commission
the Modem” on page 32.
• RF cables must be rated for 75 , not 50 .
• Low-quality, poorly terminated, or
improperly installed RF cables are the
most common cause of system problems.
Terminate all RF cables with high-quality
“F” connectors using the proper
stripping/crimping tools, exactly to the
manufacturer’s specifications. See page 48
for instructions on terminating LMR cables.
• Do not use RG-6 cable, as it will damage
the system. Use of any cables not specified
in Figure 12 will void the warranty.
• Make sure the center conductor pin at
each end of the finished cables is free of
burrs and 1/4" (0.20"-0.28") (5-7 mm) in
length, measured from inside the nut to
the tip, to ensure proper engagement.
• (LMR cables only) Make sure there is no
gap between the end of the cable jacket
and the start of the connector.
• When determining cable lengths, don’t
forget to account for service loops, 14"
(35 cm) in diameter, at each end.
