Routine Operation 3-6MTX5000 User and Technical Manual
VID MON Connector The VIDEO MON 75 ohm BNC female
connector provides a video output for external monitoring
purposes.
SDI/ASI Connector The SDI/ASI 75 ohm BNC female
connector provides SDI and ASI inputs to the unit.
ANT CONTROL Connector The ANT CONTROL 7-pin male
Weidmuller connector provides control for antenna polarization,
antenna band selection, and the RF switch. The connector also
provides DC power for the antenna and the RF switch.
RFU 1 Connector The RFU 1 connector will either be a Triax,
type “N”, or TNC, depending upon the options ordered with your
MTX5000 system. This connector provides 70 MHz IF output to
RF unit 1.
If your IDU contains a Triax RFU 1 connector, the RFU POWER
OUT connector will not be present. If your IDU contains a Triax
connector, 70 MHz IF will be supplied to RFU 1 and DC power to
RFU 1 will be supplied via DC on coax from the IDU.
If your IDU contains a type “N” or TNC RFU 1 connector, 70 MHz
IF will be supplied to RFU 1 and DC power to RFU 1 will be
supplied via the RFU POWER OUT connector.
RFU 2 Connector The RFU 2 connector will either be a Triax,
type “N”, or TNC, depending upon the options ordered with your
MTX5000 system. This connector provides 70 MHz IF output to
RF unit 2.
If your IDU contains a Triax RFU 2 connector, the RFU POWER
OUT connector will not be present. If your IDU contains a Triax
connector, 70 MHz IF will be supplied to RFU 2 and DC power to
RFU 2 will be supplied via DC on coax from the IDU.
If your MTX5000 contains a type “N” or TNC RFU 1 connector,
70 MHz IF will be supplied to RFU 2 and DC power to RFU 2 will
be supplied via the RFU POWER OUT connector.
3.2.2 MTX5000 ODU Connectors
Controls and indicators contained on the MTX5000 ODU (See
Figure 3-3) are described in the following paragraphs. Topics
covered are as follows:
Figure 3-3: MTX5000 ODU Connectors
RF OUT Connector The Type “N” RF OUT connector provides
the RF output connection to the antenna or antenna switch. This
connector is a type “N” connector for all configurations of the
ODU.
RF IN Connector The RF IN connector is either a Type “N”,
TNC, or Triax, as applicable to the options ordered with your
MTX5000 system. The RF IN connector receives 70 MHz IF
from the IDU for up-conversion to the 2 GHz or 7 GHz bands and
amplification, as required.
