IF Cable
The IF cable connects the ODU and IDU. The IF cable is used to transport the IF signal, O&M signal, and –48
V power between the ODU and the IDU.
IF cables are of three types, namely, 5D cable, 1/2-inch cable, and RG-8U cable.

• If the distance between the IDU and the ODU is less than 120 meters, use the 5D cable. One end
of the 5D cable needs to be terminated with a type-N connector for connecting to the IF interface
of the ODU. The other end of the 5D cable needs to be terminated with a TNC connector for
connecting to the IF interface of the IDU.
• If the distance between the IDU and the ODU is within 120 meters to 180 meters, use the RG-8U
cable. Both ends of the RG-8U cable need to be terminated with the type-N connectors for
connecting to the IF interface of the ODU and the IF jumper of the IDU, respectively.
• If the distance between the IDU and the ODU is within 180 meters to 300 meters, use the 1/2-inch
cable. Both ends of the 1/2-inch cable need to be terminated with the type-N connectors for
connecting to the IF interface of the ODU and the IF jumper of the IDU, respectively.
