NOTE: The CAP L is equipped with a green grounding screw located on the back of the unit; however,
grounding is not necessary. CAP Ls are classified as low-voltage devices and do not have internal
power supplies. CommScope recommends checking your local and national electrical codes to
determine if grounding is a requirement.
