3.7 Cable Installation
Fiber Cabling
1. Install a duplex multi-mode fiber from the radio to the network termination
equipment (switch or router with 1000Base-SX port). The cable should be looped
around the inside of the enclosure to provide strain-relief. Do not connect the fibers
to the radio’s fiber ports at this time.
The connectors on the radio end of the fiber require simplex LC connectors; the
connectors on the switch/router end should mate to the network equipment.
Note: The simplex LC connectors for the radio need to be inserted individually
through the slip-fit connectors on the radio, as there is not sufficient room for
both to fit through at the same time.
2. Connect fibers at the network equipment. It is important not to connect the fibers
to the radio until after aligning the radio as the radio performs an automatic
calibration once the fiber is inserted into the radio and this calibration will not
operate properly if the radio is not properly aligned.
Power Cabling
1. Select indoor location, with easy cable routing to the radio, for the AC power
adaptor. Normally it is convenient, but not required, to place the adaptor near the
network termination equipment.
2. Ensure the DC wire used is 12-gauge type and no longer than 250 meters.
3. Connect the provided DC Connectors onto the 12-guage wire using a
splicing/crimping tool. It may be necessary to trim a few strands from the ends of
thicker stranded cables to more easily fit the crimp connectors.
4. Install the DC power cable and attach to the AC adaptor using the supplied crimp
connectors. Do not connect the power jack to the radio at this time.
5. IMPORTANT: Be sure to first connect the DC power crimp connectors before
inserting the power plug into the power jack in the radio. Minor electrical sparks
may be noticed if the sequence above is not followed; however, these sparks will
not cause any harm to the radio or people.
