Port 2 provides the main signal interface. Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber (MMF). Port 2 ships with factory-installed EMI/weatherproof plug, and must remain plugged if not in use. Graphic shows the OCTIS connector in blue.8 1 Optical Port 1 Connects to an ION-E CAN/TEN (possibly through a local Hybrid Fiber Junction Box) and provides the main signal interface. Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber (MMF). Uses the Optical OCTIS Kit (PN 7770612). Port 1 ships with a dust cap that can be discarded upon unit installation. Graphic shows the OCTIS connector in blue.9 A RJ45 Auxiliary port Connects to external Ethernet devices such as WiFi and IP cameras. Cabling is via the appropriate CAT cable for the protocol; this model supports a 1000 BASE-T and 802.3at Class 4 Power over Cat6A Ethernet connection. Maximum attached cable length is 3 meters (9.8 feet). For information on the Auxiliary port in cascades, see "Cascade Rules” on page 17. Port A ships with factory-installed EMI/weatherproof plug, and must remain plugged if not in use.123478965

Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the laser beam; do not view the laser beam directly or with optical instruments.High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation.Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit.Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that all warning labels are kept in a legible condition. Replace any missing or damaged labels.Make sure the unit's settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum 12-inch (30 cm) clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna.Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so.The CAP L is to be used only with CommScope (NEC Class 2) or Limited Power Source ION-E Subrack, or equivalent.
