Figure7-9 Connecting cable for the HT 8
The connecting cable is connected to the HT8 using the RJ45 plug connector ② and plug
connector ③. ODU plug connector ① is used to connect the connecting cable with the
terminal box/connecting module MPP. The tightening torque for the nut of the ODU socket is
6.5 Nm.
The HT 8 has two cable entries at the rear for connecting the cable. This makes it possible to
attach the connecting cable at either the right or left side.
One of the cable entries is closed at the factory by a connector in which a USB connection is
integrated (with IP65 cover).
