Cable Limitations

• Only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz can be used in this installation. Do not use

existing cables such as RG-59. These other cables may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any

outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.

• Refer to Figure 13 on page 16 and the following for cable length limitations:

- The length of the RG-6 cable must be 200 feet or less between any receiver and the farthest

LNBF in the system including both cabling to the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF plus any cabling

connecting an additional DISH Pro LNBF.

- If you are connecting a Legacy receiver (no DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus label), RG-6 cable

length must be 150 feet or less to the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF.

- Cable length between the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF and a connected compatible LNBF must

be 80 feet or less.

Tighten all indoor coaxial cable connections to the receiver only by hand. If you use a

wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your equipment. Tighten

all outdoor cable connections up to 30 inch/pounds maximum to ensure seal against

moisture. Damage caused by over-tightening is not covered by the limited warranty.

Thread the RG-6 coaxial cables at the DISH 500 through the mast, support arm, and Y-bracket

as shown in Figure 2. Connect at least one cable to Port 1, which will be used for dish peaking

on 119W later in this procedure. If you have a second satellite receiver, connect its cable to

PORT 2. Assemble the LNBF to the DISH 500 Y-bracket, and secure with screws as shown in

Figure 3.
