13.8.4 Miscellaneous supplies
The following miscellaneous supplies will be required:
•
Cable ties, cable cleats – for securing cables
•
Self-amalgamating tape – to weatherproof the RF connectors
•
PVC tape – for additional protection of the RF connectors and securing cables
13.8.5 Mounting the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge
A Connectorized 600 Series bridge is shipped with the same bracket as supplied with an
Integrated unit. Details on the use of this bracket can be found in section 3.3.7. The 600
Series bridge should be mounted in a position that gives it maximum protection from the
elements, but still allows easy access for making off the various connections and applying the
recommended weatherproofing.
When using dual polar antennas the Connectorized 600 Series bridge should be mounted in
such a position as to minimize the cable length, keeping losses to a minimum (taking into
account the minimum cable lengths required by the FCC regulations, see section 13.7).
When using separate antennas the Connectorized 600 Series bridge should be mounted in
such a position as to minimize both cable runs between the unit and the antennas. It is not
necessary to mount the Connectorized 600 Series bridge at the mid point between the
antennas.
13.8.6 Mounting the antennas
The Antennas should be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Actual
antenna position will depend on the available mounting positions and link requirements. It
may be necessary to mount the antennas 20m apart or at a certain distance from the ground
to get the desired results.
