6 eMux Installation

eNodes are frequently deployed with eMuxes that can connect multiple eNodes to a STAR or to

another (upstream) eMux. The eMux amplifies and conditions RF signals from the STAR and

provides DC power to the eNodes. This section describes the procedures to install an eMux.

eMuxes should be used either when:

• The insertion loss from long lengths of coaxial cables and eNodes is too high.

• The wired eNode system layout requires splitting the wiring to multiple wiring branches.
