Grounding the EtherHaul
1.
Connect one end of the grounding cable to the ground outlet on the left side of
the ODU using the grounding cable lug.
2.
Tighten the lug securely in place.
3.
Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to the earth connection,
typically located on the mounting pole. If the earth connection is out of reach of
the grounding cable, install an alternative cable.
To make a protective earth connection, use the grounding point located on the System
ODU using a minimum amount of 16AWG grounding cable or according to local
electrical code.
It is recommended to use Lightning Surge Protector on every Ethernet cable to protect
the indoor networking equipment. The Lightning Surge Arrestor should be installed
indoor next to the cable’s point-of-entry and should be properly grounded.
