CN1100 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7601 - 3.8
The CN1100 is a 2x4 MIMO device with four antenna connectors — two Tx/Rx and two Rx-only.
All connectors are always used.
Omni, Panel, and Sector antenna configurations are supported.
For optimum performance, the CN1100 should be placed as close as possible to the antennas.
The antenna cable lengths should be as short as possible.
When the antennas are not co-located with the CN1100, grounded bulkhead lightning arresters
should be installed on each cable. xG Technology recommends using L-com AL-NMNFB-9, or
equivalent, lightning arresters.
The GPS antenna is mounted directly to the CN1100 with the provided right-angle connector;
if desired, it may be mounted in any other convenient location and connected using a suitable
cable.
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Low-loss cables (LMR® 195/240 or equivalent) are highly recommended.
The cables from the two Tx/Rx connectors on the CN1100 should be connected
to the two antennas on one diagonal.
The cables from the two Rx connectors on the CN1100 should be connected
to the two antennas on the opposite diagonal.
