Any other connector type will result in a nonfunctioning system and may damage the equipment. SC/APC pigtails are available from CommScope. InterReach Fusion Connec vity The CATV cable s F-connectors must be installed correctly to the shield at both ends. The Fusion One-Port Main Hub (FSN-1-MH-1P and FSN-W1-MH-1P) configuration is a costreduced version and supports only one fiber port and one ; it is shown below. PORT 1 PORT 2 PORT 3 PORT 4 RS-232 Main Hub RJ-45 Fiber PC/Laptop is running Internet Explorer and is connected to the Main Hub s front panel RJ-45 connector. CATV (RG-59, 6, or 11) CATV CATV RAU RAU RAU Up to 8 RAUs per Single-Mode or Mul -Mode Fiber Op c cable Up to 4 s per Main Hub INSTALL THE FUSION SYSTEM Fusion components are intended for indoor installation only. Provide sufficient air flow and cooling to the equipment to prevent heat build-up in excess of the maximum ambient air temperature specification. Clearance for air circulation is as follows: Fusion Main and s: Front and Rear: 76 millimeters (3 inches) Sides: 51 millimeters (2 inches) Top and Bottom: zero clearance RAU: Requires 76 millimeters (3 inches) on all sides except the mounting hole faceplate, which must be flush against the RAU s surface. Only carriers and approved installers are allowed to connect to the RF source. Serious damage to the equipment can occur if it is overdriven. I. DO THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CONNECTING THE HUBS 1. Verify that the single-mode or multi-mode fiber is Corning, or equivalent with SC/APC connectors. 2 Confirm that the total optical loss of each fiber cable (including patch panels) does not exceed the 3 db optical budget, measured at 1310 nm. 3 Verify that the CATV cable is Commscope cable: 2065V(RG-59), 2279V(RG-6), or 2293K(RG-11), or equivalent. All must be terminated with quality connectors, such as Canare center-pin, male F connectors or equivalent. Refer to Appendix A in the Fusion Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual (FSNP-302-01) for other cable options. 4 Verify that CATV cables test to TIA-570-B. The RAU will be damaged if the CATV connector is not installed correctly. 5 Verify that RF input power does not exceed 1 Watt. 6 Verify that the Hub is grounded safely using the third wire ground on the AC plug or the frame ground on the DC Hubs. Refer to the Installation Manual for additional information. 7 Verify that the ports are clean. 8 Leave the dust caps on the fiber ports until you are ready to connect the fiber optic cables. Do not use 75 ohm terminators on any F-connector port. Doing so causes the system to generate false alarms. October 2016 CommScope, Inc. Page 1 of 5

II. INSTALL THE FUSION MAIN HUB 1. Using the screws provided, attach the Main Hub to a standard 19 equipment rack (or wall-mount with the enclosed brackets; refer to the Installation Manual). 2 Connect the Main Hub s AC or DC power source and turn it on. All LEDs blink through the power up sequence. At each port where a RAU is detected (drawing current), the port LEDs turn green. The Fusion STATUS LED is orange during system boot and should turn green after about 90 seconds if it finds no faults. This state indicates the bands are not programmed and provides feedback on the status of the RAU connections. The LEDs blink for 20 seconds as a visual check that they are functioning. 3 Connect the s Downlink fiber optic cable to the Main Hub s Downlink fiber port and the Uplink cable to the Uplink port. III. INSTALL THE FUSION EXPANSION HUB 1. Attach the to a standard 19 equipment rack or optional wall mount bracket. 2 Connect the s power source and turn it on. 3 Connect the fiber cables to the Downlink and Uplink ports on the. Make a note of which cable is used in each port. After the power on LED blinks, the Uplink LED should turn green and stay green. Once the downlink fiber is connected, and the Main Hub is powered on, the Downlink LED should turn green. 4 Ensure that the CATV cable is wired correctly and that the cable does not exceed maximum length per cable type. 5 Test the CATV cables per TIA-570-B before you connect them to the Hub. 6 Connect the CATV cables to any available F connector port. Make a note of which RAU cable you are connecting to which port. Do not use 75 ohm terminators on any F-connector port. Doing so causes the system to generate false alarms. IV. INSTALL THE RAUS Always mount a RAU with its mounting hole faceplate against the mounting surface. Only install RAUs indoors or in an approved CommScope enclosure. 54VDC is present on the CATV cable when the cable is connected to a powered Expansion Hub. 1. Securely mount all RAUs in the locations identified by the System Design floor plan documents. Note that there may be times when an identified location will not logistically work. Place the RAU as near to the indicated location as possible. 2 Connect the tested CATV cable to the F-connector female port on the RAU. If the Hub is on, the RAU LEDs should blink for 2 seconds. If they do not, refer to the Fusion manual. V. INSTALL THE ANTENNAS Use 50-Ohm coaxial cable with minimal loss (for RF performance) and maximal flexibility (for installation convenience). Install antennas according to manufacturer s installation instructions. Antennas are usually installed below the ceiling. F. CONNECT THE ANTENNAS TO THE RAUS 1. When you connect a radiating antenna to a RAU, torque applied should be 7 ±5% in-lbs. DO NOT overtighten the connector. 2 Using a 50-Ohm coaxial cable, connect the antenna to the female N-connector on the RAU. VI.
