It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Strain relief holes are provided on the FOX5800 and FOX5300 mounting bracket for use with cable tie. Create drip loop and strain relief as shown below. Figure 12.
TrangoFOX™ Subscriber Unit User Manual Weather Considerations It is imperative that the radio be COMPLETELY SEALED when in use. Take care to ensure that the boot and foam insert are properly installed on the bottom of the radio. Without proper sealing, moisture may enter the radio and potentially cause damage which will not be covered under warranty. Access to the radio RJ-45 Port and LED status lights are purposely located at the bottom of the radio to minimize the risk of water intrusion.
