Outdoor Equipment Placement
Cisco equipment intended for outdoor installation is designed to be water-resistant,
not water-proof. To protect against equipment damage or injury to personnel, install
outdoor equipment so that it is:
 Protected from rain or accumulations of snow as much as possible.
 Not subject to direct water jets from sprinkler systems or garden hoses.
 Not subject to flooding.
 Positioned with cable connectors on the underside to minimize water entry by
gravity.
Outdoor Equipment Cabling
To protect outdoor equipment cables, comply with the following:
 Protect cables from chaffing and sharp edges when routing them through
building walls or around corners.
 Provide adequate support for cables to prevent strain or sagging.
 Provide a low loop in the cable close to its connection point to the equipment to
minimize water ingress and to provide strain relief for the connector.
 Seal outdoor cable/connector joints against moisture ingress using silicone caulk
or outdoor sealing tape.
Ventilation
