Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 700 Series
Hardware overview
The main hardware components of the PTP 700 are as follows:
• Outdoor unit (ODU): The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio
and networking electronics. The PTP 700 ODU is supplied in two configurations:
o A PTP 700 Connectorized ODU intended to work with separately mounted external
antennas.
o A PTP 700 Connectorized+Integrated ODU intended to work with either separately
mounted external antennas or with an integrated 21 dBi flat plate antenna.
• The ODU is supplied in the following regional variants:
o FCC, intended for deployment in the USA and Canada
o EU, intended for deployment in countries of the European Union or other countries
following ETSI regulations
o Rest of the World (RoW), intended for deployment in countries other than USA and EU
countries.
• Power supply unit (PSU): The PTP 650/700 AC+DC power injector powers the ODU from an
AC or DC supply.
• Antennas and antenna cabling: Connectorized ODUs require external antennas connected
using RF cable.
• PTP SYNC unit (optional): One PTP SYNC unit is needed for each link in a network with TDD
synchronization. PTP-SYNC must be used with the AC + DC Enhanced Power Injector.
• Network Indoor Unit (NIDU) (optional): The NIDU allows up to eight TDM channels (E1 or
T1) to be bridged over a PTP 700 link.
• Ethernet cabling: All configurations require a copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the
ODU (PSU port) to the PSU. Advanced configurations may also require one or both of the
following:
o A copper or optical Ethernet connection from the ODU (SFP port) to network
terminating equipment or another device.
o A copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the ODU (Aux port) to an auxiliary device.
• Lightning protection unit (LPU): LPUs are installed in the PSU and Aux copper drop cables
to provide transient voltage surge suppression.
• Ground cables: ODU, LPUs and outdoor copper Ethernet cables are bonded to the site
grounding system using ground cables.
For more information about these components, including interfaces, specifications and
Cambium part numbers, refer to Chapter 2: System hardware.
