Items you need
Data Gateway package See What's in the box (page 9) for a list of
items in the package.
Coaxial cable (coax) This is a round cable with a connector on each
end. It is the same kind of wire used to connect
to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax
from any electronics retailer and many discount
stores; make sure it has connectors on both
ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-
on and screw-on; the screw-on connectors are
best for use with your Data Gateway. The coax
should be long enough to reach from your Data
Gateway to the nearest cable outlet.
