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.
