Installation guide
1. Introduction:
OnQ Video Modules (Figure 1) provide management and distribution of RF (Cable TV, DSS, etc.) signals on
coaxial cable throughout the house. The Video Modules provide for distribution of incoming cable service and a
convenient interface between the satellite dish antenna and two receiver boxes. The 2x6 and 3x8 models have
forward and reverse path amplification to provide unity gain throughout distribution. The 2x6 and 3x8 also pro-
vide for auxiliary inputs, such as CCTV or modulated media center input, which are combined with the cable
distribution. The modules can be mounted in any OnQ Service Center Enclosure.
2. Description:
The Video Modules have “F” style fittings for connecting all incoming and outgoing cables and power input with
LED when applicable. The 2x6 Video Module allows for 1 CATV input and 1 auxiliary input, the 3x8 Video
Module has two auxiliary inputs. The 2x6 and 3x8 Video Modules occupy 6 vertical inches on half the enclosure
width.
3. Installation
A. Mounting in enclosure (Figure 2)
1) Align tabs on module with slots on rail of enclosure.
2) Insert tabs by angling module away from the back of the
enclosure and sliding forward.
3) Rotate the module and insert fasteners on module into
corresponding holes on rail of enclosure. (Plunger must be in
the pulled out position for fastener to engage hole.)
4) Push plunger in to lock module in place. Pull on module
to assure module is locked properly in place.
Note: Recommended location for Video Modules is upper right side, however
modules may be mounted in any available space (Figure 3).
Note: Do not bend cable in less than about 2 inch radius.
B. Service Connection
1) Identify incoming service cable(s) and route to "Cable In" fitting(s) on module. In routing cable,
allow slack for bundling cables to the side. Trim cable to allow loose loop of cable to the
connection.

2) Attach an RG6 "F" connector to the cable. Connect to fitting on module and finger tighten.
C. Satellite Connection
1) Identify cables from the satellite antenna and receiver
outlets and route to appropriate fitting. In routing cable,
allow slack for bundling cables to the side. Trim cable to
allow a loose loop of cable to the connection.
2) Attach an RG6 "F" connector to the cable. Connect to
fitting on module and finger tighten.
D. Auxiliary Input Connections (if applicable)
1) Identify cables for auxiliary inputs and route to appropriate
fitting. In routing cable, allow slack for bundling cables to
the side. Trim cable to allow a loose loop of cable to the
connection.
2) Attach an RG6 "F" connector to the cable. Connect to fitting
on module and finger tighten.
E. Outlet Drop Connections
1) Identify cables from the outlets and route to appropriate
fittings. In routing cables, allow slack for bundling cables to the
side. Trim cable to allow a loose loop of cable to the
connection.
2) Attach an RG6 "F" connector to the cable.
3) Remove terminator from fitting and connect cable to module and finger
tighten.
4) Place terminator on outlet after installation.
Note: Cables should all be marked to provide identification. Record room locations for cables
from outlets and auxiliary inputs.
F. Power Connection (if applicable)
1) Identify amplifier power cables and route to appropriate fitting. In routing cable, allow slack for
bundling cables to the side. Trim cable to allow a loose loop of cable to the connection.
2) Attach an RG6 "F" connector to the cable. Connect to fitting on module and finger tighten.
3) Attach an RG6 "F" connector to the opposite end of the cable. Connect to the amplifier
transformer provided with module.
4) Plug transformer into a standard 110 VAC outlet.
Warning: Damaged cable from the transformer may be hazardous and should be replaced.
Caution: Do not connect power to any other device or fitting. Connecting to other fittings may damage
attached products.
Note: No field serviceable parts inside module.
Disclaimer
OnQ recommends using RG-6 quad shielded solid copper cable in lieu of copper clad steel, especially with
applications that involve distributing DC voltages. Solid copper offers less DC resistance than copper clad
steel and thus less of a voltage drop. Many manufactures of 3rd party devices such as satellite receivers' state
NOT to use copper clad steel for this reason. Use of copper clad steel could result in voltage drop significant
enough to interfere with a DC voltage dependant device's operation. As in any RF or RF/DC application, try to
avoid excessively long runs.
