Subscriber Module (SM)
The SM is a self-contained unit that houses both radio and networking electronics. The SM is available in a
connectorized model and also in an integrated antenna configuration, but may also be used with a passive
reflector dish or CLIP (Cassegrain Lens for Improved Performance, 5 GHz only).
Figure 9 PMP 450 Series SM
3.5 GHz and 3.6 GHz PMP 450 SMs appear a bit different from the existing PMP 450 SMs.
Mounting brackets
For mounting PMP 450 SMs, Cambium Networks offers the SMMB1A mounting bracket.
Network connection
The network connection to a PMP 450 Series SM is made via a 10 BaseT or 100 BaseT Ethernet connection.
Power is provided to the SM over the Ethernet connection using a patented non-standard powering technique.
SM power supply
The SM power supply generates the SM supply voltage (29 VDC) from the external DC source and injects the
supply voltage into the SM.
The power supply is connected to the SM and network equipment using Cat5e cable with RJ45 connectors.
Refer to Cabling and lightning protection on page 1-38.
