As you decide where to mount RF Relay components in relation 
to each other, keep in mind that the up/down converter connects 
to the NEMA enclosure through a coaxial cable with a maximum 
length of 153 dm (50 feet). The up/down converter (model 
UDC2.4B-0C only) connects to the antenna filter through a 
46 cm (18 in.) coaxial cable. The up/down converter model 
UDC2.4C-0C connects directly to the antenna using the 61 cm 
(24 in.) coaxial cable.

Although you can move a Savi RF Relay after you install it, 
Savi recommends that you make sure each relay is operational 
before you install it in a position that is hard to reach.

Mounting kits available from Savi Technology include hardware 
to mount a Savi RF Relay on a pole (wooden, metal, or concrete), 
wall, or a tripod. Please refer to the instructions included with the 
mounting kit for proper installation.
