Equipment List

Taps/Splitters – approximately 88

This list also includes the amps/equipment the facility is are aware of, it does not account for amps that might be in a location that were placed by prior internal efforts.

Brief description of the cabling between buildings:

Direct TV satellite antenna is on building 125 with the Direct TV receivers in building 125. From there the cable goes out of building 125 to the rest of the buildings (101, 102, 103, 104, 58, 98) via RG cabling through the Tram Ways.

In building 98 there is also 2 antenna’s (Free local TV) on the roof that go to the Attic of 98 then we just recently took those to antenna’s and connected them together with a splitter/RG cable and sent the signal down to the basement of 98 where there the free TV is inserted into the rest of the cable TV system.

Also, in the basement of 98 there has been a Fiber converter that converts the RF to Fiber and then sent to Building 60 and Building 140.

At Building 140 the fiber is then converted back to RF/RG cable.

At Building 60 the fiber is converted back to RF/RG Cable and then split out to the Green Homes (Building 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133,) as well as Building 38 (Student housing across from Building 98 area towards building 60) via RG cabling.
