Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Grounding the Access Point
Figure 2-17 Lightning Arrestor Details
Cable for the Lightning Arrestor
Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be
kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the
run, the greater the loss).
Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor.
Grounding the Access Point
The access point must be grounded before connecting power.
Warning
This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 366
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Statement 1074
In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these
instructions to properly ground the case:
Step 1 If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug.
1 Nut 4 Unprotected side (to antenna)
2 Lockwasher 5 Protected side (to wireless device)
3 Ground lug
