CAUTION ARRIS Outdoor Gateways are designed for an operating environment of -10°C to +55°C. The Mil Spec Hdbk 217
states that a 9°C increase in device operating environments will reduce the product’s reliability (and projected lifetime)
by 50%. Therefore, you should take proper care to maximize airflow around the Outdoor Gateway and to minimize
ambient temperatures.

Mounting the Housing
IMPORTANT: The OG1600 Outdoor Gateway is not field-serviceable.
The following sections describe how to mount the OG1600.
Strand Mounting
Before you strand mount the housing, follow the instructions below to attach the strand mount brackets to the base.
1. Attach each strand mount assembly to the housing base, using the 1/4" x 0.625" length bolts that are already
installed in the top of the OG1600 chassis.
The following figure shows the strand mount brackets attached to the OG1600 housing.

2. Torque each bolt to between 4 and 6 ft-lbs (between 5.4 and 8.1 N•m)
3. Loosely attach the strand clamps to the strand mount assemblies using the 1/4” x 1.25” length bolts included with
the strand mount assembly, as shown in the following figure.

To strand mount the housing:
1. Lift the Outdoor Gateway so that the clamps are level with the strand, and slide the Outdoor Gateway back until the
strand engages the strand clamps.
2. Do not tighten the hex head bolts at this time. Keeping the bolts loose enables the clamps to slide along the strand
wire until the housing finally is positioned with respect to the cables.
3. Verify that the Outdoor Gateway is within 5 degrees of hanging vertically.
4. When the housing is in the required position, torque the two strand clamp bolts to between 4 and 6 ft-lbs (between
5.4 and 8.1 N•m).
Grounding the Housing
The aerial metal strand connections will serve as connection to ground.
Connecting the Plant Cable Assembly
The OG1600 includes an F-type connector which can be used to add the plant cable assembly. You will need to remove
the plastic cap covering this connector before you can connect to the plant cable assembly.
Important: The OG1600 is designed to be mounted near the cable plant tap in order to minimize the length of coaxial
cable needed to connect. Extended lengths of coaxial cable can reduce the DOCSIS receive sensitivity of the Outdoor
Gateway.
