Disconnect the drop cable from the LPU or ODU
Use this procedure if it is necessary to remove an EMC strain relief cable gland and RJ45 connector from
the ODU (as illustrated) or LPU.
1
(a) Remove the gland nut. Wiggle the drop cable to release the tension of the gland body.
When the tension in the gland body is released, a gap opens at the point show. Unscrew the
gland body.
(b) Use a small screwdriver to press the RJ45 locking tab, then remove the RJ45 connector.
(a)
(b)
Install the main drop cable
Warning
The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury.
•
ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant).
•
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear.
•
ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife).
Warning
Failure to obey the following precautions may result in injury or death:
•
Use the proper hoisting grip for the cable being installed. If the wrong hoisting grip is
used, slippage or insufficient gripping strength will result.
•
Do not reuse hoisting grips. Used grips may have lost elasticity, stretched, or become
weakened. Reusing a grip can cause the cable to slip, break, or fall.
•
The minimum requirement is one hoisting grip for each 60 m (197 ft) of cable.
Cut to length and fit hoisting grips
1
Cut the main drop cable to length from the top LPU to the bottom LPU.
2
Slide one or more hoisting grips onto the top end of the drop cable.
3
Secure the hoisting grip to the cable using a special tool, as recommended by the
manufacturer.
