4. Installing the MultiHaul™ TG Units
4.1.2
Cabling Requirements
•
Install the MultiHaul™ TG unit where network connections and optional power cabling are ready for operation
and easily accessible.
•
All cabling connected to the MultiHaul™ TG unit should be outdoor grade, with UV protection.
•
Use the following cables as per your type of connection:
•
1 GbE - Cat5e (or higher) shielded outdoor cables terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors.
•
10 GbE - Cat6 (or higher) shielded outdoor cables terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors.
•
The MultiHaul™ TG unit is powered through the PoE input (ETH1). Take into account the power requirements of
the MultiHaul™ TG unit (see
Section 3.2 - Technical Specifications
and external PD(s) when planning Ethernet
cabling and passive POE Midspan/Injectors.
•
PSE Output (PoE Out) is available on MultiHaul™ TG units with more than a single Ethernet port.
•
PSE port output voltage is nearly the same as PoE port input voltage. The total cable length from the PoE
injector or PSE device to the last powered device (PD) should not exceed 100 meters (PSE to first unit + first unit
to second unit).
•
In order to protect indoor equipment, you must install surge protection circuits on all copper cables on their
entrance to the building.
•
Install the MultiHaul™ TG unit in a location where proper electrical outdoor grounding is readily available.
Typically, the grounding connection is attached directly to the mounting pole. If not already present, then
suitable structure-to-earth grounding connections must be created before installation. Ground the unit using
16 AWG diameter (minimum) grounding cable or according to local electrical code.
•
PSE output is available only if the unit is powered directly by a power source
such as 48VDC, or a PoE Injector/Midspan.
•
One MultiHaul™ TG unit will power a 2nd unit, however that 2nd unit cannot
power a third unit.
•
You must also consider proper power-in limitations to avoid damage to the first
or second unit in the chain.
Improper electrical grounding can result in
excessive electromagnetic interference
or
electrical discharge.
Siklu will not be held responsible for any malfunction or damage if the unit is not
properly grounded.
