Cabling and Grounding Considerations
Grounding Example
Figure 10: Grounding of Radio
Installation Notes
Access to the radio’s RJ-45 Port and LED status lights are purposely located at the bottom of the radio to minimize the risk of
water intrusion.
Do not mount the radio upside down.
The J-Box is not a weatherized device and must be located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet.
Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations unless cable is placed in metal conduit
.
The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to be grounded if the radio itself is grounded.
It is important to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if exposed to the weather (especially direct
sunlight). Conduit (metal or PVC) is recommended to protect the cable.
!
Important!
The Ethernet port compression washer should be loosely tightened around the Cat-5 cable
to allow pressure equalization within the radio enclosure. Leave approximately 1 mm around the Cat-5.
It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio upside down.
Proper mounting of the radio includes
consideration for grounding. Please note that if
the radio is attached to a metal pole that is
earth-grounded, no other grounding is
necessary. If the radio is not earth-grounded
via the mounting bracket, you must attach a
grounding wire to the grounding stud on the
back of the radio as in the adjacent diagram.
