•
For configurations where the number of SFP ports is 2 or 3, one or two copper (Cu) ports will have
internal patch cable arrangement. For these configurations, an external RJ-45 connection with IP-65
sealing should be used.
•
For configurations with four SFP ports, use outdoor-rated, shielded, Cat5e copper cables with RJ-45
connections for the copper ports. These cables can be routed through the three-wire gland shown adjacent
to the power connector on the bottom panel of the router.
•
The alarm port has a single Cat-5e cable routed through the three-wire cable gland.
•
The management, Ethernet, and console ports are usually not used in the OSP because the access to the
router is limited (the Wi-Fi interface is used instead). However, when these ports are used, the
corresponding cables should be routed through the three-wire cable gland.
In certain configurations, like four SFPs, two Cus, and alarm, it is not possible to route
the console and management ports through the three-wire cable gland.
