Installing UAPs
UAP, UAP-N25, and UAP-X Cable Requirements
Cat6A cable is required for all connections between an CAT card and a UAP and for the jumpers between UAPs
in cascade mode. The following cabling rules must be observed; see also Figure 6-2.
•
Plenum rated cable must be used wherever it is required by local electrical codes.
•
The minimum Cat6A cable wire size required for use with UAPs is 23 AWG (minimum EIA/TIA
standards).
•
24 AWG is the minimum wire size allowed for short Cat6A patch cables or jumpers.
•
The maximum CAT 6A cable length between a UAP and a CAN/TEN is 100 meters including all cables,
jumpers, and patch panels.
•
The maximum cable length to a cascaded UAP is also 100 meters, which includes the following:
–
the length of the Cat6A jumper between the primary UAP's AUX port and the cascaded (secondary)
UAP's MAIN port
–
the cable length between the primary UAP and the CAN/TEN.
For example, a 95m cable between a TEN and a primary UAP could be used with a 5m jumper cable
between the primary and cascaded UAP.

Installing UAPs
Cascading a UAP, UAP-X, or UAP-N25
Two UAPs can be operated in cascade mode to provide LTE MIMO coverage or to support additional bands,
as shown in Figure 6-3. To cascade UAPs, connect a CAT6A cable from the AUX port of the primary UAP (A)
to the MAIN port of the secondary UAP (B). The AUX port of the secondary (B) UAP is not used in cascade
mode.
It is also possible to use the combination of a UAP and UAP-X in cascade mode, however, all spacing and
external antenna placement guidelines for UAP and UAP-X units still apply.
The connection of Ethernet devices, however, is not supported for cascaded UAPs.

UAP Maintenance
Preventative UAP Maintenance
The UAP, UAP-N25, and UAP-X do not require preventative maintenance measures. However, checking the
cleanliness of a unit and its components—particularly the heat sink/fans—at regularly-scheduled intervals
is recommended. Avoid applying too much pressure when using a vacuum or other method, as this can
damage the fan bearings and shorten the lifespan of the fans.
You will need to remove the UAP unit from its mounting to access the fans its bottom; see "Remove a UAP from
a Ceiling Mount” on page 69.

The Manufacturer's rated output power for this equipment is the composite power in a band. For situations
when multiple carrier signals are present, the power per carrier is reduced. For example, two carriers in a
band will each have 3 dB less power than a single carrier in a band. This is important where the output signal
is radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of gain
reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
La puissance de sortie nominale du fabricant pour cet é quipement est la puissance composite dans une
bande. Pour les situations où plusieurs porteuses sont pré sentes, la puissance par porteuse est ré duite. Par
exemple, deux porteuses d'une bande auront chacun 3 dB de puissance infé rieure à celle d'une seule porteuse
dans une bande. Ceci est important lorsque le signal de sortie est rayonné et peut causer des interfé rences
aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Cette ré duction de puissance doit ê tre ré alisé e par ré duction de gain et
non par un atté nuateur en sortie du dispositif.

Identifying CAP Ls in the ION-E Software
CAP L Overview
The CommScope ION-E Carrier Access Point, Low Power (CAP L) provides data and power through Copper,
Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). In addition to transmitting wireless data over a
common cable, the CAP L also supports Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi, IP cameras.
The CAP L interfaces with the ION-E CAN/TEN via a CAT 6A cable, or via an optical link. On the downlink, the
CAP L converts some or all of the data arriving at the CAP L to analog signals and sends them to the Antenna
ports. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams, which are sent back to the
CAN. Each CAP L can provide RF coverage for up to four specific frequency bands.
The CAP L
•
is passively cooled with a temperature range of -33°C to +40°C (-27.4°F to 104°F); see also "Fan Kit (PN
7724090-00)” on page 84
•
is outdoor rated (IP67)
•
has a typical power consumption of 98W; see also "Fan Kit (PN 7724090-00)” on page 84
Table 7-2 lists the CAP L models that this installation guide supports.

port
The preceding graphic shows the proprietary 8-pin Fan Interface port, which is available on all CAP L models.
Fan Kits are factory installed. If the Fan Kit was ordered, the Fan Interface port will be cabled to the Fan Kit
at the factory. If a Fan Kit is not ordered, the Fan Interface port is plugged.
Powering a CAP L
The CAP L Power-Down button is used only to power down the unit. Under normal operating conditions, the
Power LED responds as listed below.
•
If the CAP L is powered by a local power supply, the CAP L unit is always powered on.
•
If the CAP L is powered over a data cable (Cat6A or fiber), the CAP L is automatically detected by the
WCS/TEN and the link (power) comes up.
•
If the CAP L is powered over CAT cabling or the head-end DC (hybrid fiber) supply is used, the CAP L is
automatically detected and powered when it is connected to the WCS/TEN.
In any case, the Power LED turns on briefly when the unit is first detected. It will then go out briefly, followed
by an initialization period during which the Power LED flashes slowly while the CAP L is configured. The LED
will remain a steady blue (not flashing) once the unit reaches a fully operational state, which typically occurs
within 45 seconds, but it can vary dramatically in different systems and configurations, especially if it's
auto-updating.

Installing CAP Ls
Mounting Cautions
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.
General Installation Safety Requirements
Follow all of the installation cautions listed below and in "Mounting Cautions” on page 95.
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.
Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge
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.

Installing CAP Ls
Insert the Splice Holder (PN 7582294) and fasten it using a
PTK 30x6 screw (PN 7692771) and one M4 washer
(PN 7143057).
Strip the insulation of the composite cable for 100 cm and the fibers for 90 cm, and then shorten
the copper cables to 25 cm.
Insert the composite cable in the first cable gland and separate
the multi-fibers cable from the copper wires. It is necessary to
remove the nut to perform this action. The cable must be fed
through the nut and it has to be retightened once finished.
Bend the spliced fibers using the corner guides and fix the
splices to the splice holder.
Bend the optical cables as show in the picture to the right.
