Connect the Cables to the Fiber CAP L
Do the following to connect a Fiber CAP L to a passive RF antenna.
1
Connect the CAP L ANT 1 or ANT 2 connector to a passive RF antenna.
a
Locate the 50
coaxial cables obtained for this installation; see
"Obtain the Required Materials” on
b
Install the passive antennas per the manufacturer’s installation instructions. For MIMO CAP L, if
connecting both ANT connectors, you will connect the CAP L to either two separate external passive
antennas or to two ports on a cross-polarized dual antenna. Each connector supports two RF bands
(see
).

c
Remove the plastic-protective cap from the 4.3-10 connectors.
d
Remove the IP67/EMI blank plug from the ANT 1/2 connector.
e
Connect the passive multi-band antenna to the ANT 1 or ANT 2 connector using coaxial cable with the
least amount of loss possible.
•
If the 50
coaxial cable has a push-pull connector, make sure the cable is seated firmly in the
ANT 1 or ANT 2 connector.
•
If the 50
coaxial cable has a threaded connector, torque the connector 5 N-m (3.69 ft-lb). Do not
over-tighten the connector.
f
Connect the other end of the 50
coaxial cable to the passive antenna installed in
2
to connect a 50
coaxial cable to the other ANT connector.
Connect the Fiber CAP L to a Classic CAN or TEN
The following steps are applicable to a singular Fiber CAP L, or to the Primary CAP L in a cascade.
1
Connect the CAP L Optical Port 1 as appropriate for this installation.
a
Remove the dust cap from the CAP L Optical Port 1 connector and the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
b
Follow the local cleaning technique to clean Optical Port 1.
c
Clean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
d
Install the SFP+ connector and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the SMF or MMF that will connect to
the CAP L.
i
Follow the limitations per the maximum range described in
