Overview of Preparing the Site for the TX Matrix Router
To prepare a site for TX Matrix router installation.
- Verify that environmental factors such as temperature and humidity do not exceed TX Matrix router tolerances.
- Choose the routing matrix configuration (centralized or distributed).
- Measure the distance between external power sources and the TX Matrix router installation site.
- Locate sites for connection of system grounding.
- Calculate the power consumption and requirements.
- Verify that your rack meets the minimum requirements for the installation of the TX Matrix router.
- Plan rack location, including required space clearances.

- If a rack is used, secure it to the floor and building structure.
Acquire cables and connectors:
- Determine the number of cables needed based on your planned configuration.
- Review the maximum distance allowed for each cable. Choose
the length of cable based on the distance between the hardware components
being connected.
See TX Matrix Cables Overview and TX Matrix Fiber-Optic Array Cable Considerations.
- Plan the cable routing and management.
