Grounding is not mandatory. UAPs are classified as low-voltage devices and do not have internal power
supplies. However, CommScope recommends you check local and national electrical codes to determine
if grounding is a requirement for the location in which you are installing the UAP.
Insert the Cat6A cables that connect to the
UAP Main and AUX ports through the largest
rectangular opening.
If required, insert
Ground wire here.

2ANT 1
4.3-10 RF connector
RF connectors that connect to two separate external antennas or to two ports on a
cross-polarized dual antenna via 50Ω coaxial cable. Each connector supports two RF
bands as described in Table 7-2 on page 77. The end of the 50Ω coaxial cable that
connects to an ANT connector can be either a push-pull or a threaded connector. If not
used, an ANT connector must be plugged.
3ANT 2
6 Unlabeled Pushbutton switch Turns power to CAP L on/off. Power to the CAP L may also be shutdown via the ION-E
Series Software. [verify can power off via GUI]
CAUTION! Prior to disconnecting the Power cable from the CAP L, press the Power
button to power off the CAP L.
7 Unlabeled 36 to 60 Vdc Power
connector
Proprietary 4-pin connector that connects to a local or remote DC power supply, or to a
Hybrid Fiber Junction Box.
8 2 Optical Port 2 Optical Port 2 connects to an optional cascaded CAP L unit and provides the main signal
interface. Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber
(MMF). This port must be plugged if not in use.
9 1 Optical Port 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); the appropriate SFP+ is factory-installed
according to order specifications.
10 A Auxiliary port The AUX port provides a connection for external Ethernet devices such as WiFi and IP
cameras. Cabling is via the appropriate CAT cable for the protocol; this model supports an
1000 BASE-T and 802.3at Class 3 Power over Cat6A Ethernet connection. Maximum
attached cable length is 3 meters (9.8 feet). The AUX port must be plugged if not in use.

Figure 7-4. Mounting Orientation for a CAP L without the Optional Fan Kit (Flat Mounting Bracket Shown)
Always mount a CAP L that does not have the optional Fan Kit vertically, with the 4.3-10 antenna
connectors pointing down; see Figure 7-4.
Always mount a CAP L that has an optional Fan Kit installed horizontally, with the OCTIS connector
pointing down; see Figure 7-5 on page 94.

Mounting Cautions
General Installation Safety Requirements
Followalloftheinstallationcautionslistedbelowandin"MountingCautions”onpage95.
Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge
Attach all CAP Ls securely to a stationary object as described in this installation guide.
Do not mount a passive-cooled CAP L (that is, does not have a Fan Kit) in a wall-mounted orientation with
the fins running horizontally; this results in a reduced maximum operating temperature of 35°C (95°F).
Only a CAP L with a Fan Kit can be ceiling mounted. A CAP L without a Fan Kit cannot be ceiling mounted
due to thermal constraints when the fins are pointed downward.
To maintain proper ventilation, keep at least 76 mm (3-inch) clearance around the CAP L. Do not stack
CAP Ls on top of each other. Always mount the CAP L with the face containing the mounting holes against
the mounting surface.
If a passive-cooled CAP L is floor mounted, the CAP L requires a minimum 203.2 mm (8-inch) clearance
above the unit.
The installation site must be able to bear the weight of the CAP L; see Table 7-5 on page 90.
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 8-inch (20 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.
A CAP L with a Copper Interface and External DC Power and a CAP L with a Copper Interface and Power Cat
6A Cable are not designed for outdoor installations. However, the antenna to which the Copper Interface
units attach can be outdoors as long as suitable lightning-protection devices are used at the antenna site.
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear
an ESD wrist strap when working with the CAP L and when handling any of its components. Connect the
ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the CAP L or any of its
components. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the CAP L and its components.
