Step 5 Position the antenna and antenna mounting plate over the holes.
Step 6 Start the fasteners into the holes.
Step 7 Use a suitable wrench to secure the assembly to the surface and tighten the fasteners. Do not overtighten.
Step 8 Apply the danger label to a plainly visible area adjacent to the antenna.
Note The antenna is DC grounded. It is recommended that you install lightning-protection
devices in your system. See the Installation Instructions for Cisco Aironet Lightning
Arrestors. This document is available on the World Wide Web at the following URL:

Suggested Cable
Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna.
Note 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).
The antenna terminates with a RP-TNC plug after a short, 3-ft (0.91-m) cable. The mating connector to
the antenna is an appropriate RP-TNC jack. The connector on the opposite end will vary according to
the type of equipment used.
After the cable is attached to the antenna, make sure that the connections are sealed (if outdoors) to
prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using
a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicon sealant or electrical tape are not
recommended for sealing outdoor connections.
