Note: After the installation of a Return Hybrid, E7 Line Extender performance should be
verified. Realignment of the minimum return loss at 42 and 54 MHz by adjusting the
diplex filter coils may be necessary. Refer to the specification sheet for your particular
line extender.
Note: C-COR recommends this as a bench procedure.
Tip: Marking the faceplate of a modified E7 Line Extender may assist future maintenance
efforts.
