LPU End Kit PTP 250/300/500 WB2978
RJ45 connectors and spare glands
RJ45 connectors are required for plugging Cat5e cables into ODUs, LPUs, PSUs and other
devices. Order RJ45 connectors and crimp tool from Cambium Networks (Table 27).
Note
The RJ45 connectors and crimp tool listed in Table 27 work with Superior Essex type
BBDGe cable (as supplied by Cambium Networks). They may not work with other
types of cable.
The ODU is supplied with one environmental sealing gland for the drop cable. However, this is
not suitable when surge protection is required: EMC glands must be used instead. EMC strain
relief cable glands (quantity 5) are included in the LPU and grounding kit (Figure 23). These are
identified with a black sealing nut. If extra glands are required, order them from Cambium
Networks (in packs of 10) (Table 27).
One long EMC strain relief gland (Figure 27) is included in each SFP module kit. This is longer
than the standard cable gland as it must house an SFP module plugged into the ODU.
