Grounding
Once the AirStrand 2200 is securely attached on the strand it is required to connect an approved
ground cable. The external ground cable should be connected with the grounding screw (1/4-16)
fitted with a flat washer and lock washer (supplied) on the unit chassis clearly marked with the
universal ground symbol. The grounding screw is pre-installed during assembly.
The external ground cable is not provided by Airspan. Cutting the Ground cable to the
required length and crimping the grounding lug is performed by the Installer.

The cable should be grounded and bonded according to international or local standards.

Interface Connection
The shielded CATV cable supplies both power and data and is fed from an external
isolated transformer.
Once the AirStrand 2200 is securely attached on the strand the installer should connect the shielded
CATV cable terminated with an RF connector to the F-type connector (factory installed) connected to
the unit’s entry port.
1.
Connect the shielded CATV cable terminated with an RF connector to the F-type connector
connected (factory installed) to the unit’s Entry port.
Supplied with F-type connector adapter but other connectors (i.e. stinger) are available if
required.
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.
Take care not to over tighten the F-type RF connector. The connector should be tightened
to a nominal torque maximum of no more than 1.6NM/14.1600 in/lbs.

Connector Replacement
In the event the connector needs replacement use two (2) wrenches so as to prevent accidentally
loosening the F-type connector adaptor connected to the unit’s connecting outlet.
