Installing Cable & Ground from Surge Suppressor to ODU, Part 1
To install Ethernet cable and ground from the surge suppressor to the ODU:
1.
The approved Cat5e Ethernet cable with integrated ground wire is available in three pre–terminated
lengths: 50ft–15m, 75ft–23m, and 125ft–38m.
Though cable with integrated ground wire is recommended, you can use an equivalent cable without
ground. In this case, use Xplornet–approved 12AWG ground wire in place of the integrated ground wire.
Measure the distance between the surge suppressor and ODU and select the cable with the best fit.
Measure along horizontal and vertical paths, but avoid sharp bends.
Cutting and re–terminating the Cat5e cable is not allowed.
2.
At the surge suppressor, separate a few inches of the integrated ground wire from the Cat5e cable.
