REF # Label Description Function
1 Unlabeled Alarm Output The CAP M has two dry contacts that can be used
to send CAP M alarms/status to a third-party
monitoring device. The alarm connector is a Binder series M9 connector; see Table 13 on page 59
for pin numbering.
2 A RJ45
Auxiliary p
ort
Connects to external Ethernet devices such as WiFi and IP cameras. Cabling is via the appropriate
CAT cable for the protocol; this model supports a 1000 BASE-T and 802.3at Class 3 Power over
Cat6A Ethernet connection. Maximum attached cable length is 3 meters (9.8 feet). For
information on the Auxiliary port in cascades, see "CAP M Installation and Cascade Rules” on
page 16. Port A ships with factory-installed EMI/weatherproof plug and must remain plugged if
not in use. (Graphic shows the port populated with an
OCTIS Ethernet connector PN 7760652
which must be ordered separately—see "OCTIS Kits” on page 9.)
3 2 Optical Port 2 If the CAP M is functioning as a Primary CAP M in a cascade, Optical Port 2 connects to Optical Port
1
of the Secondary CAP M via the Optical OCTIS Kit (PN 7770612), which ships with the unit, to
provide the main signal interface. Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi
Mode Fiber (MMF). Port 2 ships with factory-installed EMI/weatherproof plug and must remain
plugged if not in use. Graphic shows the OCTIS connector in blue; one Optical OCTIS Kit ships with
each Fiber CAP M (see "OCTIS Kits” on page 9).
4 1 Optical Port 1 Connects to a Classic CAN or TEN (possibly through a local Hybrid Fiber Junction Box) and provides
the mai
n signal interface; if Secondary CAP M in a cascade, Optical Port 1 connects to Optical Port
2 of the Primary CAP M. Optical transport occurs over Singl
e Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode
Fiber (MMF). Uses the Optical OCTIS Kit (PN 7770612), which ships with the unit. Port 1 ships with
a dust cap that can be discarded upon unit installation. Graphic shows the OCTIS connector in blue.
5 Unlabeled Power LED See "Power the CAP M” on page 59.
6 ANT 2 TX
4.3-10 RF
con
nector
Transmits 400 MHz band signals from distributed antenna
s. This RF port can be connected directly
to an antenna (using RF jumper cables) or through splitters, allowing additional antennas to be fed
by the CAP M.
7 ANT2 RX 4.3-10 RF
con
nector
Receives 400 MHz band signals from distributed antennas. This RF port can be connected directly
to an antenna (using RF jumper cables) or through splitters, allowing additional antennas to be fed
by the CAP M.
8 ANT 1 4.3-10 RF
con
nector
Transmits and receives 700 MHz and 800 MHz band signals to and from distributed antennas. This
RF port can be connected directly to an antenna (using RF jumper cables) or through splitters,
allowing additional antennas to be fed by the CAP M; see "Connect the CAP M to an RF Antenna”
on page 51.
9 Unlabeled Grounding
bolts
Connects the CAP M to an approved earth-ground source.
10 Mains Power
con
nector
(Vac or Vdc)
Connects to any of the following (graphic shows the port populated):
• Vac—Main power
• Vdc—Remote DC power supply or a Hybrid Fiber Junction Box.
