“GigaBUD 1000” Installation Guide 

 

Installation Requirements: 

Category Cable: 

 

Category 5E or better cable for horizontal wiring plant per ANSI/TIA-568-C Series Standard 

 

Category patch cables 

 

Category cable 

must

 be matched throughout a Z-Band System.  Do 

not 

use a mixture of different  

             cables

 

Coax Cable: 

 

Coaxial cable backbone cannot exceed 

400’ if using RG-6, or 600’ if using RG-11 

(Use single-mode fiber 

for distances greater than 600’) 

 

Use RG-6 coaxial cables to cascade the “GigaBUD 1000’s” in the same closet 

Other Requirements: 

 

35 dB amplifier with gain and tilt for Direct Cable Feed or to increase  and flatten Headend  signals to the 
proper levels 

 

RF meter capable of measuring analog and digital signals  levels  plus C/N for analog, and MER for digital 
channels across the CATV spectrum  

 

One GigaBOB for each TV or video-enabled PC in the System 

 

Two-Way Splitter

 

Fiber Cable: 

 

Use single-mode cable with SC/APC connectors 

 

Optical wavelength:  1300  

 

RF input power range to “Z-Band Light TX”:   20 dBmV + or - 5dBmV 

 

Optical Meter capable of reading Single-mode SC/APC Terminated Fiber at 1300nm wavelength 

 

Optical input power range to “GigaBUD 1000”:   –1dBm to –4dBm 

RF Input Levels: 

Make sure that the input coming into the System is as follows (assume a 35 dB amplifier with gain and tilt is 
used prior to input, if required in order to obtain proper signal levels): 

 

  

Analog Only

 

Digital Only

 

 Analog  & Digital Combined

 

Level
