separate license agreements and interactive services riders (the "Original

WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend and restate all of their rights and
obligations under the original National Agreement pursuant to this National
Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

1. National Agreement.
It is understood and agreed between the parties that the provisions of this
National Agreement shall be included in and considered a part of the Individual
License Agreements (as further defined in Section 5(a) of this National
Agreement) as if
2
the provisions of this National Agreement were incorporated therein. In the
event any of the provisions of any Individual License Agreements are
inconsistent with any of the provisions of this National Agreement, the
provisions of this National Agreement shall prevail.
2. Term.
(a) This National Agreement shall be for a seven (7) year term commencing on
July 1, 1993 ("Commencement Date") and expiring on June 30, 2000 ("Expiration
Date") unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of this
National Agreement.
(b) The provisions of this National Agreement notwithstanding, any Individual
License Agreement may be suspended, at Hyatt's option, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice, in the event a Hotel or any material portion thereof is
closed for renovation. In the event Hyatt chooses to suspend the Individual

termination hereunder, this National Agreement may be cancelled by Hyatt upon
the early termination of that certain Amended and Restated Spectramax National
Agreement of even date herewith, between the parties hereto (the "Spectramax
National Agreement").
3. Spectravision and Interactive Services.
(a) Spectravision is a registered trademark of Spectradyne. Spectravision
Services are the services of telecasting, in closed circuit, of pay-per-view
movies over the hotel master antenna television system ("MATV") to television
receivers located in Hotel guest rooms by means of transmission equipment
manufactured, acquired, installed and maintained by Spectradyne or on
Spectradyne's behalf. Interactive Services are software driven services which
interface with Hotel property management systems and shall include, at a
minimum, (i) interfaces with Hotel safes and bars, as applicable, and currently
provided to
3
the Hotels by vendors of such safes and bars; and, (ii) the following services:
Video Check-out/Account Review, Video Messages, Video Breakfast Menu, Instant
Room Inventory, Xxxxxxx Assistance and Guest Comment Cards. Spectradyne shall
use its best efforts to make its Interactive Services compatibly interface with
safes and bars provided to the Hotels by any new vendors.
(b) Spectravision Services and Interactive Services shall be provided in the
manner described throughout this National Agreement and the Individual License
Agreements.
(c) On or before November 15, 1993, Spectradyne shall provide each Exhibit A
Hotel with those Interactive Services described in Section 3(a)(i) above and, in
English, those Interactive Services described in Section 3 (a) (ii) above as
well as the following Spectravision Services: (i) Spectradyne's Guest Choice
"A", on demand, in-room, guest pay movie and entertainment service ("Guest
Choice"), which shall provide a selection of up to two hundred (200) tapes or
movies available to guests for viewing on demand; and, (ii) pursuant to Phase
One of the New Technology as more fully described in Section 4 (a) below,
Spectradyne shall commence to equip the first Exhibit A Hotel and each Exhibit A
Hotel thereafter with a method by which a minimum of eight (8) different
television channels shall receive and deliver eight (8) regularly-scheduled
programs of guest pay movies and entertainment service ("Guest Choice")
including up to two hundred (200) movies and entertainment programs each day at
the Hotel and which shall be available to Hotel guests for viewing on demand at
any time in any one day. In connection with the Guest Choice service "on demand"
shall mean that the system is capable of meeting a guest's request to view a
particular selection within an average of three (3) minutes of initiation of
such request. On or before April 30, 1994, the Interactive Services described in
Section 3(ii) above shall be available to all of the Exhibit A Hotels in
Japanese, French, Spanish and German and each Hotel may select and Spectradyne
shall provide those of the foregoing languages such Hotel deems desirable.
Pursuant to Phase Two of the New Technology as more fully described in Section
4(b) below, on or before December 31, 1994, Spectravision Services shall include
and Spectradyne shall provide to ninety percent (90%) of all Exhibit A Hotels,
an advanced compressed digital means of providing on demand, in-room guest pay
movie and entertainment services (as further described in Section 4(b) hereof)
which shall replace the eight (8) regularly-scheduled movies or programs and
shall be provided in addition to the Guest Choice service, unless otherwise
determined by Hyatt in its sole discretion.
(d) It is understood and agreed that, except as otherwise provided below,
Spectradyne shall have absolute control and discretion in the selection of
movies to be projected at the hotels; provided, however, that Spectradyne shall
provide (1) a method whereby a guest must reconfirm his movie or entertainment
4
selection electronically before actually viewing the selection, (2) a method
whereby a guest may select and preview up to three (3) movies or other
entertainment selections for up to five (5) minutes apiece without charge, and
(3) a method whereby a guest will be able to electronically restrict movies or
entertainment selections from being offered in his guest room by title,
category, on a day-to-day basis or for the length of the guest's stay.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall Spectradyne offer movies or
entertainment which, in the versions as presented, have been rated "XI" by the
Motion Picture Association of America. At periodic intervals, Hyatt may review
the entertainment offered by Spectradyne. If, in the reasonable opinion of
Hyatt, following such review, Hyatt is of the opinion that the materials which
are available for viewing would offend the sensibilities of a substantial number
of Hyatt's guests in any Hotel, then Hyatt may notify Spectradyne in writing of
such determination and Spectradyne shall provide an alternative movie or
entertainment selection in that certain Hotel. In addition to the foregoing, the
President of Hyatt Corporation, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, (or his successor), reserves
the right, at any time from time to time, to veto the projection of any movie,
regardless of its rating. Spectradyne agrees to immediately cease the projection
of any and all such vetoed movies and provide an alternate movie which is
acceptable to Hyatt. In the event that Spectradyne can demonstrate that Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxxxx'x veto of a movie leads to adverse material economic consequences to
Spectradyne, the parties agree to meet to discuss a mutually agreeable solution
to avoid such adverse economic results.
(e) All movies shall be free of distortion and of a first class video quality.
Any inferior tapes or other videos shall be replaced immediately.
(f) In supplying movies to any Hotel, Spectradyne will use its reasonable
efforts not to violate any censorship rules or prohibitions applicable to the
Hotel. To that end, Spectradyne shall inform Hyatt in writing of the movies
proposed to be projected not later than seventy two (72) hours in advance of the
scheduled projection. If any such movie is known by Hyatt to be in violation of
the censorship rules or otherwise prohibited by Hyatt, Hyatt will promptly
inform Spectradyne of such fact and Spectradyne shall provide a substitution
acceptable to Hyatt. Spectradyne understands and agrees that Hyatt may not be
familiar with the contents of each movie scheduled for projection at the hotels;
therefore, Hyatt reserves the right to reasonably veto any movie which violates
such censorship rules or prohibitions at any time prior to or during its
projection.
(g) Hotel guests may view Spectravision in their guest rooms at the per view
fee(s) set forth in the Individual License Agreements or otherwise agreed to
between the parties.
(h) Spectradyne shall furnish, install and maintain certain
monitoring equipment to monitor particular movies viewed in the
5
guest rooms and to print out or interface such information for
use by the Hotel in its billing.
(i) Hyatt agrees that the movies and such other video programming provided by
Spectradyne under this Agreement remain the property of Spectradyne. Each Hotel
shall (i) ensure that the movies and such other video programming are stored
under the strictest reasonable security measures, and (ii) shall not allow
anyone other than in-room Hotel guests and invitees to view the movies or such
other video programming. Each Hotel shall not allow any copying under any
circumstances of the movies or such other video programming and shall not allow
the movies or such other video programming to be taken from the Premises.
4. New Technology Rollout.
Spectradyne shall provide certain New Technology, as described below, to at
least ninety percent (90%) of Exhibit A Hotels pursuant to a timetable and
schedule for delivery as agreed upon in writing by Hyatt and Spectradyne for
Exhibit A Hotels, but in no event later than the time frames specified below.
(a) Phase One (1). On or before November 15, 1993, Spectradyne shall commence to
deploy and install, at its sole cost and expense, a new method and system of
movie and entertainment delivery in the first Exhibit A Hotel and each Exhibit A
Hotel thereafter. The new method will provide at least eight television channels
for compressed digital television, video decoders, and integrated receiver
decoders, and an appropriate microwave satellite dish antenna or earth station
in order for Spectradyne to receive and to deliver eight (8) regularly-scheduled
programs of movies or entertainment at each such hotel per day. Phase One (I)
shall be completed by Spectradyne no later than March 31, 1994.
(b) Phase Two (II). Commencing on or before September 1, 1994, and ending no
later than December 31, 1994, Spectradyne shall deploy and install, at its sole
cost and expense, appropriate video store-and-forward equipment and the
computer-drive equipment necessary to provide (i) on demand movie or
entertainment programming in each Exhibit A Hotel already equipped with Phase I
equipment, and (ii) a system whereby, per module, no fewer than thirty-two (32)
users or separate Hotelroom guests can access a single title or entertainment
program at the same time. Spectradyne shall add additional modules to each site,
as necessary, to meet one hundred percent (100%) of guest demand, and allow
simultaneous viewing by all who wish to view the same selection. All such
programming in Phase II shall be available on demand to Hotel guests. For
purposes of this paragraph "on demand" shall mean that the system is capable of
meeting a guest's request to view a particular selection virtually
instantaneously.
(c) Spectradyne hereby covenants that such New Technology will
6
be user-friendly and will meet those specifications and performance
characteristics set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference.
5. Individual Hyatt Spectravision Agreements.
(a) A number of Hotels have entered into Individual License Agreements and/or
Interactive Services Riders with Spectradyne to provide Spectravision and
Interactive Services at such Hotels. These original Individual Agreements along
with all individual license agreements to be executed pursuant to Section 5 (b)
hereof shall be the "Individual License Agreements" referenced hereunder and
shall be subject to and governed by the terms of this National Agreement.
(b) Each Hyatt Hotel which is not already a party to an Original Individual
Agreement desiring to retain Spectradyne to provide its Spectravision Services
shall enter into an Individual License Agreement substantially in the form set
forth as Exhibit B attached hereto and made part hereof.
(c) The term of each Individual License Agreement shall be coterminous with the
term of this National Agreement.
(d) Under no circumstances shall the term of any Individual
License Agreement automatically renew.
(e) Spectradyne agrees that any Hyatt Hotel set forth on Exhibit A is eligible
for Spectravision and Interactive Services and the other benefits hereunder.
Hyatt may, from time to time, add or delete Hyatt Hotels from Exhibit A. Any
Hyatt hotel desiring to hire Spectradyne to provide Spectravision must enter
into an Individual License Agreement which shall expire on the Expiration Date
regardless of its commencement date. Hyatt shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that Hyatt hotels enter into Individual License Agreements.
6. Additional Spectradyne-provided Equipment and TV Sets.
(a) In addition to the transmission, monitoring and related equipment and
software heretofore furnished and/or installed at the Hotels, Spectradyne shall
provide equipment necessary to deliver Spectradyne's Guest Choice service, and
any equipment or software necessary to be installed in connection with providing
Interactive Services or Spectravision Services using the New Technology. All of
the foregoing equipment and software to be furnished and/or installed pursuant

"Equipment" and shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to
Equipment under this National Agreement and the Individual License Agreements.
(b) Except as otherwise provided for below, Spectradyne shall
provide and install, free of charge, a number of new television
7
sets and remote controls meeting the specifications described on Exhibit D
attached hereto (the "TV Sets") equal to the number of television sets currently
installed in all of the guest rooms at Exhibit A Hotels. In addition,
Spectradyne shall deliver to each Hotel a number of spare TV sets equal to four
percent (4%) of the number of television sets at such Hotel. Each Exhibit A
Hotel will also receive at least one (1) character generator, free of charge. On
a Hotel by Hotel basis, as the TV Sets are installed, each Hotel shall surrender
to Spectradyne for trade-in the televisions sets currently in use at such
property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, provided the Hotel has or
is able to easily procure title to such trade-in television sets. In the event
the television sets currently in use at any Hotel are leased or financed by such
Hotel and the Hotel is therefore unable to surrender them to Spectradyne free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances, then the provisions of this Section
6(b) which references surrender of such trade-in television sets shall not apply
to either Spectradyne or such Hotel until such time as Hotel is able to
surrender same to Spectradyne at the expiration date of such lease or financing
arrangement, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
(c) Such TV Sets and character generators shall be provided by Spectradyne at
such Hotels and delivered to each Hotel in a sequence in accordance with the
make and model number of each TV Set and character generator and in a quantity
pursuant to a written plan of installation, which is agreed upon by Spectradyne
and Hyatt; provided, however, all such TV Sets (except the spares) shall be
fully installed on or before November 14, 1994. Upon delivery to each Hotel,
Spectradyne shall convey to such Hotel good title to and ownership of the TV
Sets (including all remote controls thereto) and the character generator for
such Hotel, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance. The TV Sets shall
become the sole property of the Hotels and neither Spectradyne nor any third
party shall have any right, title or interest in or claim to such TV Sets.
(d) In the event any Exhibit A Hotel is equipped already with "Smart Plug"
television sets, Spectradyne may instead provide such Hotels with a *** trade
credit per "Smart Plug" television set against future amounts due Spectradyne
under such Hotels' Individual License Agreements, including refits, as
necessary, to SpectraMate room units and Spectradyne remote control units
containing the features set forth on Exhibit D.
(e) In the event Spectradyne submits to a plan of reorganization pursuant to the
Bankruptcy laws of the United States, or enters into a plan for the benefit of
creditors, Spectradyne shall cause Xxxxx Fargo Bank to ratify that certain
letter agreement between Xxxxx Fargo Bank and Hyatt dated July 25, 1989, which
pertains to certain Spectradyne equipment installed in Hyatt Hotels.

and shall remain with the respective Hotel.
(h) Upon the expiration or early termination of this National Agreement or any

right to use all or any portion of the existing Equipment, as determined solely
by Hyatt, for an amount mutually agreed to be the fair market value of such
Equipment and/or interest or right therein, except for any Equipment not owned
by Spectradyne or Equipment which Spectradyne cannot convey any interest in or
right to use. If, however, Hyatt and Spectradyne are unable to determine the
fair market value of such Equipment and/or interest or right therein, the
Equipment shall remain at the Hotel(s) as set forth in Section 6(h)(ii) below.
In the event Hyatt elects to have the Hotels purchase such Equipment and/or
interest or right therein, Spectradyne shall deliver to each respective Hotel
free and clear title to such Equipment, along with the Xxxx of Sale upon receipt
of payment of the agreed upon amount; or,
(ii) require Spectradyne to keep and maintain all Equipment provided to
the Hotels pursuant to the Spectramax National Agreement, including the license
for the use of the on-site software required to operate such Equipment or
provide the Interactive Services at the Hotels for a total rental,maintenance,
license and service fee chargeable to the Hotels in the amount of *** per guest
room per month for a term not to exceed thirty six (36) months; and,
(iii) the parties agree that in the event Hyatt exercises its option to
keep such Equipment in the Hotels pursuant to Section 6(h) (ii) above, Hyatt
agrees not to use such Equipment to show in room pay-per-view movies and such
other video programming.
(iv) However, Hyatt may elect to offer guest pay movies and such other
video programming through the rented Spectradyne Equipment provided that
Spectradyne shall be the exclusive provider of those guest pay movies and such
other video programming over the rented systems, and Spectradyne shall continue
to pay the Hotels the fees specified in Section 9 below.
If Hyatt fails to exercise the option set forth in this section 6(h)(iv) upon
termination of the rental period pursuant to
9
Section 6 (h) (ii), Spectradyne may, following written notice, elect to remove
the Equipment.

portion of the Equipment and/or the interest and rights therein, or rent the
Equipment from Spectradyne as described in Section 6(h) above, Spectradyne
agrees to license to the Hotels for their use at no additional cost to Hyatt or
the Hotels, the on-site software and any and all upgrades thereto, which are

thirty-six (36) months, if the parties have not previously terminated this
Agreement, it shall automatically renew for continuous ninety (90) day terms,
until such time as one party provides the other party with ninety (90) days'
prior written notice of intent to terminate. Spectradyne warrants and represents

provide Interactive Services and to operate the Equipment.

each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from and
against any claims, demands, causes of action, loss, cost and expense (including
reasonable attorneys, fees) arising out of or in connection with or based upon a
real or alleged breach by Spectradyne of the provisions of this National
Agreement pertaining to Spectradyne's intellectual property rights, including,
but not limited to, those provisions
14
set forth in Sections 6(h)(i) and 6(h)(ii) above, and any claims, demands,
causes of action, loss, cost, expense (including attorneys' fees) or fee based
upon an alleged or actual infringement of any patent or copyright or an alleged
unauthorized broadcast or use of any license as set forth in Section 14 above.
Hyatt shall promptly notify Spectradyne for any matter for which indemnity is
sought under this paragraph and, in any event, prior to the incurrence of any
expenditures under this section.
Spectradyne agrees that it is as fully responsible for the acts and omissions of
its subcontractors and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by them
as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Spectradyne.
Spectradyne agrees to bind every subcontractor by the terms of this National
Agreement so far as is applicable to the subcontractor's work. However, nothing
contained in the provision of this National Agreement shall create
any-contractual relationship between Hyatt and any subcontractor.
18. Force Majeure.
Neither party shall have any liability for the failure to perform or a delay in
performing any of its obligations under this National Agreement if that failure
or delay is the result of any legal restriction, labor dispute, strike, boycott,
flood, fire, unavoidable mechanical failure, electricity interruption or any
other cause beyond the control of either party whether similar or dissimilar to
the causes enumerated herein except in any case any event which can be cured or
mitigated by the payment of money; provided, however, that the failure of
Spectradyne to deploy and install the New Technology on the schedule established
and as required pursuant to Section 4 of this National Agreement shall under no
circumstances be deemed a force majeure event.
19. Default. (a) In the event that (i) Spectradyne fails to begin Phase Two
installations of the New Technology by September 1, 1994, (ii) Spectradyne fails
to deliver all of the New Technology to at least ninety percent (90%) of the
Exhibit A Hotels on or before December 31, 1994, (iii) Spectradyne fails to
install the new TV Sets in, or provide the trade credit to, Exhibit A Hotels in
accordance with Section 6 above on or before November 14, 1994, or (iv) the New
Technology fails to meet the standards set forth on Exhibit C, then Hyatt may
terminate this National Agreement upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior
written notice. In the event of such termination, in addition to all other
remedies available to Hyatt at law or equity, each Hotel shall retain ownership
of all TV Sets installed in or delivered to such Hotel prior to the effective
date of such termination.
(b) In the event that Spectradyne fails, in any material way, to provide the
services described in Section 8 above, to Hyatt's sole satisfaction, Hyatt or
any Hotel, at its sole option, upon
15
three (3) days' notice to Spectradyne and opportunity to cure, may elect to have
such service(s) performed by another vendor at the sole cost and expense of
Spectradyne. All amounts owed by Spectradyne under this paragraph shall be
deducted from amounts payable to Spectradyne by the applicable Hotel. Hyatt
shall provide Spectradyne, at Spectradyne's request, with copies of any such
amounts.
(c) Except (i) as otherwise provided in paragraph (a) and (b) above, and (ii)
for the reasons that constitute force majeure as set forth in Section 18
hereinabove, in the event that either Hyatt or Spectradyne fails to perform or
comply with any other material obligation under this National Agreement or the
Amended and Restated Spectramax National Agreement or any Individual License
Agreement or Hyatt Spectramax Agreement that failure shall constitute a default.
The non-defaulting party shall notify the defaulting party in writing of the
failure and default. In the event the default is not remedied to the
satisfaction of the party having given such notice within forty five (45) days
after receipt of notice, or if such default is of a nature that it cannot, with
due diligence and in good faith, be cured within forty five (45) days and such
defaulting party fails to proceed promptly and with due diligence and in good
faith to cure the same, then the non-defaulting party may declare this National
Agreement or the Amended and Restated Spectramax National Agreement or any or
all of the Individual License Agreements and Hyatt Spectramax Agreements, as
appropriate, terminated as of the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day
following delivery of the original notice. In the event that this National
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 191 all the Individual License
Agreements shall automatically terminate on the same terms without further
action or notice of any kind by Hyatt.
20. Test sites.
Spectradyne understands and agrees that from time to time, during the term of
this National Agreement and the Individual License Agreements, Hyatt may use
certain of the Hotels as test sites side-by-side with existing and operating
Spectradyne equipment for the purpose of investigating and evaluating the
services offered by other companies which provide services which are the same as
or similar to the services provided by Spectradyne, so long as such testing
causes no damage to Spectradyne nor uses its Equipment. Any such test shall not
exceed a period of ninety (90) days. Hyatt shall not be deemed to be in default
of this National Agreement or the Individual License Agreements in the event any
testing is conducted at a Hotel serviced by Spectradyne.
21. Independent Contractor.
Spectradyne is an independent contractor and all persons employed
to furnish services hereunder are employees or agents of
16
Spectradyne and not of Hyatt.

writing and delivered or mailed with postage prepaid, to the party intended at
its address as hereinbefore set forth.
23. Binding.
This National Agreement shall inure to and bind the successors, assigns and
representatives of the parties; provided, however, this National Agreement may
not be assigned by Spectradyne without the prior written consent of Hyatt.
Spectradyne shall not have the right to subcontract its obligations as set forth
herein to third parties without the prior written approval of Hyatt.
24. Governing Law.

State of Illinois without regard to the external laws or federal laws pertaining
to conflicts of laws.
25. Entire Agreement

agreed that the unsuccessful party to such action shall pay to the prevailing
party therein all court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees or other professional
fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party.
28. Heading
The headings used in this National Agreement are inserted only as a matter of
convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope
of this National Agreement nor the intent of any provision thereof.
29. Hyatt-Agent.
17
Spectradyne acknowledges that Hyatt acts as the agent of the owners of the
Hotels and any action or obligation to be performed or carried out by any Hotel
hereunder shall be performed by Hyatt solely in its capacity as agent for the
owner of such Hotel. Accordingly, Spectradyne acknowledges that Hyatt's

the Hotel's censorship rules or otherwise prohibited by the Hotel, Hyatt will
promptly inform Spectradyne of such fact and Spectradyne shall provide a
substitution acceptable to Hyatt. Spectradyne understands and agrees that Hyatt
may not be familiar with the contents of each movie scheduled for projection at
the hotels; therefore, Hyatt reserves the right to reasonably veto any movie
which violates such censorship rules or prohibitions at any time prior to or
during its projection.

b. The maximum allowable variance between any two non-adjacent channels will be
12 dBMv @ 450 MHy or 3db per 100 MHy of band width.
3. Room to Room Isolation will be greater than 30 dB. Isolation values of all
devices separating any two given rooms will be used for the purpose of this
calculation as well as the structural return loss of all interconnecting
cabling.
4. Visual carrier-to-noise ratio on any channel (4 MHz
bandwidth) will be at least 42 dB at any T.V. outlet.
a. The visual carrier to coherent noise ratio (intermodulation)
will be greater than 46 dB.
5. Reflections ingressing MATV distribution system, which may cause ghosts and
shadows within the system, will be more than 40 dB below the respective picture
carrier.
6. Taps, splatters, and other passive equipment will be of the totally shielded
type, using a sealed metal or aluminum case, so as to minimize radiation and
ingress. All connections will be "F" type connectors.
46
a. Taps used will be designed to pass 5 MHz to 450 MHz, or
greater
b. Splitters will be designed to pass 5 MHz to 450 MHz, or
greater
C. Where the last tap on the riser is not a terminated tap, 75
ohm terminations will be used to terminate the end of all riser
lines at the through port output.
7. Coaxial cable shall be of 75 ohm impedance with a return loss of 20 dB
minimum from 5 MHz to 450 MHz. Cable construction will be solid copper or
copper-clad steel center conductor and cellular polyethylene dielectric. Cables
will be provided with two xxxxxxx. The first shield shall consist of .002 inch
double aluminum coated mylar or polypropylene tape with 1/811 overlap, bonded to
the dielectric. The second shield shall be a minimum 60% coverage braid
consisting of 34 AWG aluminum or tinned copper wire. The jacket shall be
non-contaminating low temperature polyvinyl chloride or Teflon. Where ambient
signal levels, as.measured with a half wave dipole, exceed 15 dB a cable having
an effective shielding of 67 percent or greater will be utilized outside of all
conduits.
a. Cable Sizes used in the system can be either the same as RG-6 or RG-11. The
RG-11 size is used for longer trunk lines and the RG-6 size is used for shorter
feeder lines. Where conservation of signal is of prime importance in elimination
of additional amplifiers, in cascaded systems, a cable having a diameter of .500
inches may be used, or such other configurations meeting performance standards
stipulated herein.
b. RG-11 size cable will have a nominal loss per 100 feet of .96 dB at 55 MHz,
1.9 dB at 211 MHz, 2.75 dB at 450 MHz.
c. RG-6 size cable shall have a nominal loss per 100 feet of 1.6 dB at 55 MHz,
3.05 dB at 211 MHz, 4.4 dB at 450 MHz.
d. .500 cable will have a maximum loss per 100 feet of .56 dB at
55 MHz, 1.09 dB at 211 MHz, 1.63 dB at 450 MHz.
e. Coaxial cable runs will be continuous lengths and no splices shall be
permitted in any conduit run. Cables shall be installed without sharp bends or
physical distortion.
f. Sweep testing of each reel of coaxial cable will be performed over the 0-000
XXx range by the cable manufacturer, as per cable industry standards for
transmission and structural return loss and be so certified in writing by the
cable manufacturer.
8. Coaxial Cable Connectors will be used to connect to equipment
as required. Connectors will be solderless, 75 ohm impedance and
be designed for the specific type of cable used. RG-6 connectors
will be one piece construction having an integral ferrule
47
requiring a "HEX" type crimp for proper installation on the cable. RG-11
connectors will use the cables center conductor as the connector's center pin.
All connections will be made using crimp tools of a design consistent with the
connectors construction and intended use.
9. Amplifiers, Pads, Cable, and other miscellaneous equipment will be supplied
and installed to make an operating distribution system that meets all of the
specifications as outlined.
III. Supplemental Distribution System
Systems requiring line extender amplifiers will be designed to the same
standards as the primary distribution system. Where more than two amplifiers are
in cascade the third and fourth amplifiers will have their maximum full gain
derated by a minimum of three dB. Further doubling of the cascade will result in
additional gain reductions, of three dB, each time the cascade is doubled.
