5.4 Ethernet Cable Installation
Before connecting to the appropriate port you can manage and store any excess cable by winding it
up and fasten it securely. This takes up any excess slack and presents a more thorough and orderly
installation.
The following demonstrates the recommended assembly instructions, hardware and tool requirements
for the proper Ethernet cable assembly of the Ethernet Category 5e (enhanced) (CAT5e) cable used
by Airspan products.
The Ethernet cable is connected using a standard RJ45 connector protected by a harsh environment
protective casing.

1. Remove the Gland connector by unscrewing the body from the unit stand-off.
2. Pass the prepared Ethernet cable through the tail nut, seal, body and front seal of the
connector casing as shown below. Do not tighten the tail nut.

3. Seat (click) the RJ45 connector plug securely into the AirSpeed 1000.
4. Tighten the Gland body into to the stand-off on unit.
5. Tighten the tail nut on to the body, forcing the seal to compress around the cable.
Once the connector is properly installed, the cable should be positioned and secured to minimize stress
on the cable.
5.5 Connecting the DC Power Cable
1. Plan the position of the DC power cable run from the AirSpeed 1000 unit to the power
supply. The DC power cable is offered in various lengths, to fit different deployments.
2. Uncoil the cable and secure the connector to the connector on the bottom panel of the
AirSpeed 1000 unit.
Note: When securing the cable make sure there is no tension on the connector so that it
is easy to disconnect and re-connect for future maintenance actions.
