Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface
To install the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface, use the following procedures:
•
Install the ODU to top LPU drop cable
on page
15
•
Install the main drop cable
on page
17
•
Install the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable
on page

Caution
To avoid damage to the installation, do not connect or disconnect the drop cable when
power is applied to the PSU or network terminating equipment.
Caution
Do not connect the SFP or Aux drop cables to the PSU, as this may damage
equipment.
Caution
Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel.
Alternative types of Cat5e cable are not supported by Cambium Networks. Cambium
Networks supply this cable (Cambium part numbers WB3175 and WB3176), RJ45
connectors (Cambium part number WB3177) and a crimp tool (Cambium part number
WB3211). The LPU and grounding kit contains a 0.6 meters (2 foot) length of this cable.
Install the ODU to top LPU drop cable
Fit glands to the ODU to top LPU drop cable
Fit EMC strain relief cable glands (with black caps) to both ends of the 0.6 meters (2 foot) length of
pre-terminated cable. These parts are supplied in the LPU and grounding kit.

Disassemble the gland and thread each part onto the cable (the rubber bung is split).
Assemble the spring clip and the rubber bung:
