Note
All RJ45 Ethernet LAN cables used for providing power or are connected to power ports
(PoE) must be UL certified with VW-1 markings.
Attention
All cables used for outdoor installations must be suitable to be used for that environment and
rated accordingly.

Ethernet standards and cable lengths
All configurations require a copper Ethernet connection from the power supply port to the power supply
and network terminating equipment.
For each power supply, the maximum permitted drop cable length is specified in Table 37 Power supply
drop cable length restrictions.
Table 37 Power supply drop cable length restrictions
Part number Description Maximum cable length (*1)
N000900L001
N000000L034
Power Supply for Radio with Gigabit Ethernet (no cord) 330 feet (100m)
(*1) Maximum length of Ethernet cable from the device to network device needs to follow 802.3 standards.
If the power supply is not the network device the cable from the power supply to the network device must
be included in the total maximum cable length.

Cambium Industrial Cable
Cambium Industrial Cable uses 24-gauge solid bare copper conductors, covered by bonded-pair polymer
insulation. The conductors are protected by double-layer shielding consisting of a solid foil layer under
the braided tinned copper mesh, providing excellent shielding while maximizing flexibility. And, the cable is
jacketed by industrial-grade UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and oil-resistant PVC.
Cambium’s Industrial RJ45 connectors are specifically designed to work optimally with Cambium Industrial
Cable.
The connectors are fully shielded with integrated strain relief for greater pull strength, utilize a staggered
contact design that minimizes crosstalk and maximizes electrical performance, and the contacts are
