2.5 Antenna Location
The optimum location for the antennas must be determined. The ideal location should
provide for ease of erecting and mounting the antenna, as well as unimpeded L
ine-Of-
Site (LOS) to the other site. The following factors should be taken into account:
• Type of mounting—wall or pole
• Location where the fiber and DC power wiring will enter/exit the building
• Length of cable runs
• Grounding connection points
• Obstructions
• Accessibility
2.6 Cabling
The installation site should be inspected to determine the run paths for the fiber cable and
power cable from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof
penetration should be identified. The routing and securing of all cables should conform to
all applicable codes and requirements. Depending on the likelihood of damage due to foot
traffic or equipment movement, cabling conduit may be required. The maximum cable
run length as specified for the equipment being installed must not be exceeded.
The radio requires an LC type connectors on a pair of simplex multi-mode fibers to
properly connect to the radio and the users network equipment. Single-mode fiber is not
a current option supported by the radio. The network equipment end of the fibers should
be terminated with connectors that match the network equipment fiber interface.
Fiber Cable Length Cable Type
Up to 270 meters 62.5/125 µm
Up to 500 meters 50/125 µm
Table 2-3: Fiber Cable Types
All radios in the E60 product line include a 100-240 VAC power adaptor suitable for
indoor operation that converts the AC voltage from the standard electrical outlet in the
wall to DC voltage. Our radio requires a minimum of 15.0 VDC (24.0 VDC maximum)
up the power cable to the radio to function properly. When planning the cable run from
the indoor mounted AC power adaptor to the radio unit, it is critical to use the cable
gauge (AWG) indicated below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The electrical
cable that is used outside the building must be outdoor rated (i.e., weather-protected)
providing a single pair of wires necessary to power the equipment. The required DC
power cable is 12 gauge, 2 wire (i.e., 12/2) rated for outdoor use.
