RF cable and connectors
RF cable of generic type LMR-400 is required for connecting the ODU to the antenna. N type male
connectors are required for connecting the RF cables to the connectorized ODU. Two connectors are
required per ODU. Use weatherproof connectors, preferably ones that are supplied with adhesive lined
heat shrink sleeves that are fitted over the interface between the cable and connector. Order CNT-400
RF cable and N type male connectors from Cambium Networks (
Table 60 ).

Antenna accessories
Connectorized ODUs require the following additional components:
• Cable grounding kits: Order one cable grounding kit for each grounding point on the antenna
cables. Refer to
Ethernet cable testing on 2-45.
• Self-amalgamating and PVC tape: Order these items to weatherproof the RF connectors
• Lightning arrestors: When the connectorized ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors (not
LPUs) are required for protecting the antenna RF cables at building entry. One arrestor is required
per antenna cable. One example of a compatible lightning arrestor is the Polyphaser LSXL-ME or
LSXL (not supplied by Cambium Networks).
