Ethernet cabling
One LPU and grounding kit (
) is required for the PSU drop cable connection to the ODU. If
the ODU is to be connected to an auxiliary device, one additional LPU and grounding kit is
required for the Aux drop cable. Order the kits from Cambium Networks (

Cambium part number
PTP 650 LPU and Grounding Kit
C000065L007
Note
PTP 650 LPUs are not suitable for installation on SFP copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces.
For SFP drop cables, obtain suitable surge protectors from a specialist supplier.
SFP optical Ethernet interfaces do not require surge protectors.
RJ45 connectors and spare glands
RJ45 connectors are required for plugging Cat5e cables into ODUs, LPUs, PSUs and other devices.
Order RJ45 connectors and crimp tool from Cambium Networks (
Note
The RJ45 connectors and crimp tool listed in
BBDGe cable (as supplied by Cambium Networks). They may not work with other
types of cable.
The ODU is supplied with one environmental sealing gland for the drop cable. However, this is not
suitable when surge protection is required: EMC glands must be used instead. EMC strain relief
cable glands (quantity 5) are included in the LPU and grounding kit (
). These are identified
with a black sealing nut. If extra glands are required, order them from Cambium Networks (in
packs of 10) (
One long EMC strain relief gland (
) is included in each SFP module kit. This is longer than
the standard cable gland as it must house an SFP module plugged into the ODU.
