The Cisco uBR905 cable access router
provides high-speed network access on the cable television system to
residential and small office, home office (SOHO) subscribers. The
uBR905 router has a coaxial cable, or F-connector, interface that
connects directly to the cable system. Coaxial cable and a BNC
connector are used to connect the router and cable system.
Use the following steps to connect the
Cisco uBR905 cable access router to the cable system:
- Verify that the router is not
connected to power.
- Locate the RF coaxial cable coming
from the coaxial cable (TV) wall outlet.
- Install a cable splitter/directional
coupler, if needed, to separate signals for TV and computer use. If
necessary, also install a high-pass filter to prevent interference
between the TV and computer signals.
- Connect the coaxial cable to the F
connector of the router.
Hand-tighten the connector, making sure that it is finger-tight, and
then give it a 1/6 turn with a wrench.
- Make sure that all other coaxial
cable connectors, all intermediate splitters, couplers, or ground
blocks, are securely tightened from the distribution tap to the
Cisco uBR905 router.
Caution: Do not over tighten
the connector. Over tightening may break off the connector. Do not
use a torque wrench because of the danger of tightening the
connector more than the recommended 1/6 turns after it is
finger-tight.
