The document provides an overview of the outside plant of a broadband system. It discusses how the system uses satellites spaced every 2 degrees above Earth to transmit signals via C-band and L-band frequencies. It then outlines the various components of the outside plant including fiber optic and coaxial cable sections, poles, stands, clamps, anchors, and other hardware used to support and transmit signals throughout the network. Diagrams and photos illustrate the setup and layout of the outside broadband infrastructure.

2. Outside Plan.
The purpose of this presentation is to give student a better
understanding of the outside plan of a Broadband System.
We will show the pole section, the supporting stand, the
suspension clamp, the anchor, the lashing machine and many
other aspects of the outside plan.

14. Coaxial Cable.
Coaxial cable consists of :
•75 ohm cable
•Center conductor
•Foam (holds the center conductor in place)
place)
•Aluminum contour
•Sometimes with a PVC cover
Coaxial cable has a frequency range of 5 to 1000 MHz
and can also handle 90 volts AC.
