Installation

Plan the entire installation before
proceeding! Take into account
antenna unit placement, running
cable distances between units, and
accessibility to the equipment after
installation. Cable lengths are
detailed in Table 2-2.
KVH recommends the use of
RG-6 (75 ohms) cable for RF
wiring. Use of non-RG-6
(75 ohms) cables will result in
degraded performance. The KVH
warranty does not cover degraded
performance due to improper
wiring.
