The radio requires LC type connectors on a pair of simplex multi-mode fibers to properly
connect between the radio and the users network equipment. Single-mode fiber
connections are not supported for use with the standard product. The network equipment
end of the fibers should be terminated with connectors that match the user’s network
equipment fiber interface.

Table 2-2: Fiber Cables with LC Type connectors
The GE/AR80 radio includes a 100-240 VAC power adaptor suitable for indoor operation
only that converts the AC voltage from a standard electrical outlet in the wall to DC
voltage. The radio requires a minimum of 15.0 VDC at the connector on the radio unit
(24.0 VDC maximum) to function properly. When planning the cable run from the indoor
AC power adaptor to the radio unit, it is required to use the cable gauge (AWG) indicated
below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The indoor and outdoor portions of the
DC power cabling must conform to all respective indoor and outdoor national and local
electrical and building codes; note that requirements may differ for the indoor and
outdoor portions of the cabling and that a grounded surge protector is normally required
at the point where the cable enters the building. The DC power cabling must consist of
two 12 or 14 gauge conductors based on the required cable run length.
