Installing a CAP H
Connect the Antenna Cable
The following information regarding antenna mapping and is relevant to all CAP H variants.
• For Non-MIMO bands, there is no channel mapping option for the transceiver/antenna port. The
transceiver/antenna port relationship is fixed in hardware.
• For MIMO bands, the ERA GUI maps MIMO channels according to their AP designation:
– AP0 to antenna port ANT1
– AP1 to antenna port ANT2.
• When using SISO channels on a CAP H that supports MIMO, the system will automatically balance the
number of channels between the two antenna ports, where the first SISO channel is mapped to ANT1, the
second SISO channel is mapped to ANT2, and so on.
• Use Table 11 to determine how to connect to the antenna correctly for each CAP H variation.
When attaching the antenna cable connector, refer to the corresponding documentation of the connector
manufacturer. The bending radius of the antenna cable must remain within the given specifications. Observe
all cautions listed below.

Make sure that the fiber cable used meets the RF and environmental requirements for this installation.
Use an appropriate torque wrench for the 4.3-10 type connectors (5 N-m, 44 in lb) with 22mm (7/8) in
opening.
Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (such as a pair of pliers). This might cause damage to the
connector and lead to a malfunction of the CAP H.
