1.3 About the Outdoor Unit
The following figure shows the front and rear of the DXL8000 Outdoor unit (ODU).
• The front of the ODU has a path polarization mark (arrow) to orient the antenna to
horizontal or vertical polarity.
• The ODU has a fixed-rectangular waveguide at 6 and 7 GHz and cannot be rotated.
• The ODU has a circular waveguide at 11 through 23 GHz.
• The ODU has snap clips for antenna mount.
• You can have a separation of up to 850 ft. (260 M) with 1/2” foam cable. Type N
connectors are required at both ends of the cable. Permissible IF cable loss to the
ODU is about 22 dB maximum. Recommended cables are Times LMR-400 or Andrew
LDF4-50A.
• The center mounting shown on the rear image includes a waveguide hookup for a
Remote Mount Kit (RMK), which is described on the next page.
