XMC-5D installation guide

XMC-5D

• The antenna ports on the XMC-5D ODU can adapt to the polarization direction of the
antenna. Therefore, no manual adjustment is required.
• The XMC-5D ODU does not support hot swap.

rotate 180 degree

Left V Right H Left H Right V

• The Flat OMT is delivered together with new Module Dual-Polarized antenna for XMC-5D
which diameter≤1.8m, it is used for XMC-5D direct mounting on antenna.
• The Flat OMT could rotate 180 degree to change the polarization when install on antenna, in
this project, we only use one scenario, Left V Right H.
4
Flange Adapter

• The Flange Adapter is used for XMC-5D separate mounting on antenna, the antenna could be
new module Dual-Polarized antenna which diameter ≥2.4m or the old UHP antenna

5
Dual coupler

• The Dual coupler is used for 8+0 link

6
ISM8

• There are 2 IF port on ISM8

• There is one 10GE COMBO port for ISM8 cascade

Polarization rule IF1V IF2H
1. The Flat OMT could rotate 180 degree to change the polarization when install on antenna, in
this project, we only use one scenario, Left V Right H.
2. ISM8 IF1 connect to XMC-5D IF1, ISM8 IF2 connect to XMC-5D IF2, For XPIC group

1. Flange adapter polarization not define polarization, polarization is depend on antenna or OMT.
2. In this project, XMC-5D direct mounting or Dual coupler separate mounting with flange adapter,
the polarization follow IF1V IF2H rule, is fixed as below.
