ION‐E Series System Overview ION‐E SERIES SYSTEM OVERVIEW This section describes the ION‐E system, which is a unified wireless infrastructure platform defined around IT based architecture. It brings together licensed wireless and power, plus Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi into one wireless system that can scale to building size and is technology and spectrum agnostic and adaptive. A basic ION‐E system comprises the components listed below; see also Figure 1. • Central Area Node (CAN)—provides server‐level control and primary signal distribution. WCS‐2 (2U) and WCS‐4 (4U) Subrack options are available. • Transport Expansion Node (TEN)—connects to a CAN using Multi‐Mode or Single‐Mode fiber as a secondary distribution point. WCS‐2 (2U) and WCS‐4 (4U) Subrack options are available. A WCS‐2 and a WCS‐4 can be configured for use as a CAN or a TEN. When the information in this guide applies to both configurations, the term “CAN/TEN” is used. When the information pertains to only one of the configurations, that configuration will be identified singularly as “CAN” or “TEN.” • Access Point—connects a CAN or a TEN to antennas or other wireless devices. On the downlink, an Access Point (AP) converts data arriving at the AP to analog signals and sends them to an antenna. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams which are sent back to the CAN/TEN. Each AP contains up to four transceiver paths for RF coverage. APs supports Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices in addition to wireless over a common cable. An AP can be any of the following: – Universal Access Point (UAP)—connects the CAN/TEN to an internal antenna; receives data and power through Cat6A twisted pair cabling. – UAP‐X—similar in function as the standard UAP, in addition to Commercial frequencies, the UAP‐X also supports Public Safety frequencies, including 700, 800 and 400 MHz. The UAP‐X connects the CAN/TEN to external antennas and supports an extensive frequency range. – UAP‐N25 and UAP‐XN25—similar in function as the UAP and UAP‐X, the UAP‐N25 and UAP‐XN25 feature a 25 MHz filter on one path (instead of the 80 MHz filter on a UAP or UAP‐X). This allows coexistence of specific bands, such as Australia 850 MHz and 900 MHz. – Low Power Carrier Access Point (CAP L)—interfaces with the CAN/TEN via a Cat6A cable or an optical link. This allows the CAP L to provide data over Copper, Single‐Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi‐Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for CAP Ls with a Copper Interface can be provided over Cat6A or External AC/DC. Power for CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface is provided over External AC/DC or remotely through hybrid fiber. CAN TEN Access Point WiFi IP Camera Cat6A MM/SM Fiber Figure 1. Basic ION‐E System M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 3 CAP L Overview CAP L O VERVIEW The Low Power Carrier Access Point (CAP L) interfaces with the CAN/TEN via a Cat6A cable or an optical link. This allows the CAP L to provide data over Copper, Single‐Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi‐Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for CAP Ls with a Copper Interface can be provided over Cat6A or external DC. Power for CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface is provided over External AC/DC or remotely through hybrid fiber. On the downlink, the CAP L converts 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/TEN. Each CAP L can provide RF coverage for up to four specific frequency bands. Figure 2 shows how a CAP L can be deployed in an ION‐E system. Figure 2. CAP L in an ION‐E System The CAP L • operates within the following temperature ranges – CAP L without a Fan Kit (passively cooled) – Optical units: ‐33°C to +40°C (‐27.4°F to 104°F) Cat6A units: 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F) CAP L with a Fan Kit, the maximum operating temperature increases to 55°C (131°F); see also "Fan Kit” on page 11 • is outdoor rated (IP67), however, the Cat6A units are not designed for outdoor use; see "Mount the CAP L” on page 20. • has a typical power consumption of 98W; see also – "Fan Kit” on page 11 – "Determine the Power Consumption of the CAP L” on page 17.

ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 8 M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. CAP L Overview Powering a CAP L and Power LED Behavior The CAP L is powered on as soon as power is connected to it. Under normal operating conditions, 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 Power LED remains a steady blue (not flashing) once the unit reaches a fully operational state, which typically occurs within 45 seconds. If you press the CAP L Power‐Down button, the CAP L will go into sleep mode. This allows you to safely disconnect any cables connected to the CAP L. If you press the Power‐Down button, the only way to bring the CAP L back to a fully operational state, is to do one of the following: • Disconnect the data cable from Port 1, and then reconnect it. • For an externally‐powered CAP L, remove the power cable for 10 seconds, and then reconnect it. • Power LED behavior for a CAP L with a Fiber Interface – Off—CAP L is not powered on. – Steady blue—CAP L is powered on and operational. – Slow flashing blue—CAP L is powered on and initializing. – • Rapid flashing blue—CAP L Unit Identifier active via the Flash LED function in the ION‐E GUI. Power LED behavior for a CAP L with a Copper Interface – Off—CAP L is not powered on. – – – Steady blue—CAP L is powered on and operational. Slow flashing blue—CAP L is powered on and initializing. Rapid flashing blue—CAP L Unit Identifier active via the Flash LED function in the ION‐E GUI. – Slow pulse blue (ION‐E Software V2.3 or later only)—if the Power LED cycles through a slow increase in brightness for 1 second followed by a slow decrease in brightness for 1 second, the CAP L is powered on but is currently unable to establish a 10 Gbps data link to the WCS Subrack. There are two possible causes: There is an installation problem, such as a defective cable or connector, a cable that is too long, or a cable crosstalk problem. Any of these problems can lead to inadequate SNR at the remote unit and an inability to link. (This is the most likely cause if this is a newly‐installed unit.) This condition can also be triggered when a crystal oscillator has aged over the course of several years. In this case, the failure to link at startup will initiate a self‐calibration process which can take several minutes. Once this self‐calibration is complete, the unit will resume normal operation. (This is the most likely cause for units which have worked correctly in the past.) M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 9 CAP L Overview Fan Interface Port Fan Interfac e port The preceding graphic shows the proprietary 8‐pin Fan Interface port, which is only available on CAP L units that ship with the factory‐installed Fan Kit. If the CAP L being installed includes the Fan Kit option, the Fan Interface port will be cabled to the Fan Kit at the factory. If the CAP L being installed does not include the Fan Kit option, the Fan Interface port will be plugged. CAP L Accessory Options The following sections describe hardware options for the CAP L: • "Fan Kit” on page 11 • "Flat Mounting Bracket Kit” on page 11 • "CAP L Mounting Bracket Kit” on page 11 • "CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit” on page 12 • "AC/DC Power Supply Kit” on page 12 • "OCTIS Kits” on page 12. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 10 M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. CAP L Overview Fan Kit Fan Kit The optional Fan Kit is an integrated shroud that fits over the CAP L enclosure to extend the upper ambient temperature range. The Fan Kit • is IP55 rated • increases the maximum operating temperature to 55°C (131°F) • adds 3W power consumption to the CAP L; see "Determine the Power Consumption of the CAP L” on page 17. • is factory installed, but can be replaced in the field. Flat Mounting Bracket Kit The Flat Mounting Bracket Kit (CommScope PN 7774353‐xx) provides the mounting brackets required to mount an CAP L to a wall or other flat surface. See "Wall Mount a CAP L Using a Flat Mounting Bracket Kit” on page 24. CAP L Mounting Bracket Kit The CAP L Mounting Bracket Kit (CommScope PN 7774354‐xx) provides the mounting brackets required to mount an CAP L to a wall or other flat surface when using the “CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit” or the “AC/DC Power Supply Kit.” M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 11 CAP L Overview CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit The CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (CommScope PN 7781091‐xx) separates the power from the fiber signals on a hybrid fiber feed from the CAN/TEN. It feeds power to the CAP L through a composite cable that includes both fiber and copper power wires. Fiber and copper terminate at the Splice Box, which allows you to separate the DC wires and fiber at the remote end. For CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface, you will typically use composite cable to transport signal and power, and then use the CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit to terminate the fiber at the CAP L. See "Wall Mount a CAP L Using a CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit” on page 26. AC/DC Power Supply Kit The AC/DC Power Supply Kit (CommScope PN 7775087‐xx) provides a 48V External Power Supply that converts local AC power to DC power for the CAP L. Wherever copper is already available for a CAP L installation, a CAP L with Copper Interface should be installed. However, in a cascade, PoE is only available for the Primary CAP L—the Secondary CAP L will require local power and the use of the AC/DC Power Supply Kit. Moreover, the AC/DC Power Supply Kit can be used for a Fiber or Copper Interface when remote powering is not feasible. See "Wall Mount a CAP L Using a AC/DC Power Supply Kit” on page 31. OCTIS Kits All CAP Ls include one OCTIS1 Kit for the primary interface to the CAN/TEN. Regardless of which OCTIS Kit ships with the CAP L, it will plug into the CAP L Port 1. It is the configuration of the OCTIS Kit that then makes the AUX port compatible for a Copper Interface or a Fiber Interface. You can order an additional OCTIS Kit, which would allow you to cascade two CAP Ls, or to attach an auxiliary Ethernet device; which OCTIS Kit you should order is identified in Table 2. Table 2. CAP L OCTIS Kits Kit Name CommScope PN Description Optical OCTIS Kit 7770612 Use only with CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface to cascade a Secondary fiber unit.

ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 13 Installing CAP Ls Property Damage Warnings 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. General Installation Safety Requirements 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 is not designed for outdoor installations—it is not lightning protected. However, the antenna to which the Copper Interface units attach can be outdoors if 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 ION‐E hardware components. Not all ION‐E hardware requires grounding. For those ION‐E hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the ION‐E component. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the ION‐E hardware. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 14 M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. Installing CAP Ls Prepare for Installation Do the following before beginning installation. • Review and know the cautions in "Safely Working with ION‐E Hardware” on page 13. • Review the system design plan. • Identify the equipment installation site. • Review the power requirements to make sure the site can support this installation. • Map out all cable runs. • Identify and obtain all tools and materials required to complete the installation. CAP L Installation Rules When installing a CAP L, you must observe the following rules, which are also documented in the installation procedures included in this installation guide. • CAP L with Copper Interface – Connects via its RJ‐45 port to a CAT Card in the CAN/TEN – Each CAT Port can support two Copper CAP Ls, but you cannot exceed six CAP Ls per CAT Card, for maximum totals of 24 CAP Ls in a straight cascade configuration, and 32 CAP Ls per WCS Subrack in a daisy‐chain configuration, but you must adhere to the Copper CAP L powering rules. – There can be a total of 12 CAP Ls connected to a CAT Card in a cascade configuration. The CAP L connected to the CAT Card is the Primary CAP L, to which you can connect one self‐powered Secondary CAP L. See "Cascade Rules” on page 16. • CAP L with Fiber Interface – Connects via its Optical Port 1 to an OPT Card in the CAN/TEN – You can connect up to 4 CAP Ls per OPT Card for a total of 16. – You can connect up to three CAP L units (or cascaded pairs) to OPT Card Ports 1 ‐ 4. See "Cascade Rules” on page 16. M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 15 Installing CAP Ls Cascade Rules When cascading a Secondary CAP L or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules, which are also documented in the installation procedures included in this installation guide. • In a cascade, the CAP L connected directly to the CAN/TEN is the Primary CAP L, and the CAP L that connects to the Primary CAP L is the Secondary CAP L. • The cascaded unit must use the same transport type (Copper or Optical). – – To cascade two Optical CAP Ls, use a fiber‐optic cable. To cascade two Copper CAP Ls, use Cat6A cable. Use 23 AWG Cat6A cable; for cable limitations, see "Cat6A Cable Requirements for CAP Ls with a Copper Interface” on page 39. • The Secondary CAP L must get its power through the DC connector. For CAP Ls with a Copper Interface, power over the Cat6A cable to the cascaded unit is not supported. • You connect CAP Ls with a Copper Interface to a CAT Card in the WCS Subrack. Each CAT Card has four RJ‐45 ports (labeled 1 ‐ 4). • – You can connect up to three CAP Ls with a Copper Interface (or cascaded pairs) to CAT Card Ports 1 ‐ 3. – If installed in CAT Card Port 4, the CAP L with Copper Interface must be locally powered. You connect CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface to an OPT Card in the WCS Subrack. Each OPT Card has four 10 Gbps ports (labeled 1 ‐ 4) for fiber connections. – – • You can connect up to 4 CAP Ls per OPT Card for a total of 16. In a cascade, the CAP L connected to the OPT Card is the Primary CAP L, to which you can connect one Secondary CAP L. Use of the Auxiliary ports in a cascaded system is limited as described below. – – For CAP Ls with a Fiber Interface, only use the Auxiliary port on the Primary CAP L. For CAP Ls with a Copper Interface, use the Auxiliary port on the Primary CAP L to connect one of the following: a locally powered Secondary CAP L an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera. • The total 320 MHz RF bandwidth is shared between the two cascaded units, but can be shared unevenly; that is, with more bandwidth going to either the Primary or Secondary CAP L—either CAP L can transmit all the 320 MHz RF bandwidth or any subset of it. • After the Primary CAP L powers up, the Secondary CAP L will be discovered and power up on its own; for information on how a CAP L powers up, see "Powering a CAP L and Power LED Behavior” on page 9. Recommended Tools and Material • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist strap • Drill and bits to mount CAP L to a wall or ceiling • Fiber cleaning equipment • if required per local practice, insulated stranded copper wire for chassis ground; see "(Optional) Ground the CAP L” on page 35. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 16 M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. Installing CAP Ls Determine the Power Consumption of the CAP L Use the power consumption matrix in Table 4 to calculate power consumption for a CAP L, where • the consumption numbers are at the CAP L power inputs and do not account for feed losses • the maximum consumption numbers in Table 4 do not include the power consumed by any attached auxiliary devices. Both CAP L power consumption and auxiliary device power must be included when calculating feed losses. Table 4. CAP L Power Consumption Configuration Voltage Range (V) Typical Power (W) Maximum Power (W) 36 ‐ 60 92 102 36 ‐ 60 95 107 36 ‐ 60 100 110 36 ‐ 60 103 115 Copper Interface and Power Cat 6A Cable without Fan Kit <60V maximum 100 110 Copper Interface and Power Cat 6A Cable with Fan Kit 103 115 Optical Fiber Interface without Fan Kit 1, 2 Optical Fiber Interface with Fan Kit 1, 2 Copper Interface and External DC Power without Fan Kit Copper Interface and External DC Power with Fan Kit 1 <60V maximum Does not include consumption of optional local DC supply. Optical unit does not include SFP+ Module consumption. Can support up to 3W (more with engineering consultation) maximum total SFP+ Module consumption. Typical installation (sufficient for SM up to 10km or MM) would be 0.8W typical, 1.0W max for each SFP+ Module. Determine the CAP L Mounting Site When deciding on a suitable mounting site, observe the following rules: • The CAP L is suitable for installation indoors for any unit. • A CAP L with an Optical Fiber Interface can be installed outside only if it has a Fan Kit. • Use the weights listed in Table 5 to determine a site that can bear the weight of the CAP L that is being installed, where: – The “Maximum Lift Weight” is the highest weight that must be lifted during installation. (An installer only needs to lift CAP L components at one time, not the wholly configured CAP L.) – The “Total Hanging Weight” is the weight of the CAP L, including the weight of the Mounting Bracket and Power Supply, minus the weight of the external cables and connectors, that the mounting site must be able to support. • Use the dimensions shown in Figure 3 on page 18 through Figure 5 on page 19. • Refer also to "Mounting Orientation for Wall Mounts” on page 22.

ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 19 Installing CAP Ls General Mounting Cautions The following cautions apply to all CAP L installations; there may be other mounting cautions applicable to a specific mounting option, which will be defined in the applicable mounting procedure. Attach all CAP Ls securely to a stationary object as described in this installation guide. To maintain proper ventilation, keep at least 76 mm (3‐inch) clearance around the CAP L. The installation site must be able to bear the weight of the CAP L; see Table 5 on page 17. Unpack and Inspect the CAP L and Optional Accessories Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container. Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip. If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope Technical Support (see "DCCS Global Technical Support” on page 53). Save the damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier. Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date. Mount the CAP L The CAP L is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations as follows: • Indoors—All versions of the CAP L can be installed indoors. • Outdoors— – – Only Optical Fiber CAP Ls with the optional Fan Kit can be installed outdoors. Do not install Copper CAP Ls (that is, have Cat6A cabling) outdoors as they are not designed for outdoor temperatures, nor do they have required lightning protection. Mounting instructions are divided into the sections listed below. • The following sections apply to all installations. – "General Mounting Cautions” on page 20 – • "Mounting Orientation for Wall Mounts” on page 22. Follow the mounting instructions that are appropriate for this installation: – "Flat‐Surface Mount a CAP L” on page 21 – – "Wall Mount a CAP L Using a Flat Mounting Bracket Kit” on page 24 "Ceiling Mount a CAP L with a Fan Kit” on page 34 – "Wall Mount a CAP L Using a AC/DC Power Supply Kit” on page 31. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 20 M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. Installing CAP Ls Flat‐Surface Mount a CAP L You can place a CAP L on a flat surface, such as a shelf, desk, cabinet, above a ceiling, or any other horizontal surface that allows stable placement. If you mount the CAP L on a flat surface, in addition to the rules listed in "General Mounting Cautions” on page 20, you must also observe the following rules that are specific to a flat‐surface mount. 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 secure the CAP L to the mounting surface. If a CAP L without a Fan Kit is flat‐surface mounted, the minimum clearance above the CAP L is 203.2 millimeters (8 inches). Always mount the CAP L with its mounting option facing down against the mounting surface, and the enclosure fins facing up; see Figure 6. If you are mounting the CAP L above a ceiling, its antennas must protrude below the ceiling. That is, the CAP L will be above the ceiling, but any connected WiFi units or IP cameras will be mounted below the ceiling; see Figure 6. Fins facing up Flat‐Mounting Bracket option is securing the CAP L to the flat surface. Flat Suface If the CAP L does not have a Fan Kit, do not Flat‐Suface Mount with the CAP L Fins facing down. Fins Facing down Figure 6. CAP L Orientation in Flat‐Surface Mounting After you mount the CAP L on a flat surface, follow the steps in "Connect the CAP L Cables” on page 36.

For a CAP L with the optional AC/DC Power Supply Kit (PN 7775087‐xx), connect its Local Power Jumper Cable Assembly to the proprietary 4‐pin, 36 to 60 Vdc Power connector on the CAP L. The CAP L is powered on as soon as you connect the CAP L to a power source; see "Powering a CAP L and Power LED Behavior” on page 9. Cable a CAP L with a Copper Interface All installations of a CAP L with a Copper Interface must follow the rules in "Cat6A Cable Requirements for CAP Ls with a Copper Interface” on page 39. Follow the cabling instructions that apply to the unit type that you are installing. • "Cable a CAP L with a Copper Interface and External DC Power” on page 42 • "Cable a CAP L with a Copper Interface and Power over Cat6A Cable” on page 44. Cat6A Cable Requirements for CAP Ls with a Copper Interface The following cabling rules must be observed for all installations of a CAP L with a Copper Interface. For information on how to test your Cat6A cables and connections, see "Cat6A Specifications and Testing Requirements” on page 49. • Plenum rated cable must be used wherever it is required by local electrical codes. • Shielded twisted pair is not required unless operating in a high RFI/EMI environment. • An ION‐E system requires a minimum Signal‐to‐Noise Ratio (SNR) of 25 dB, and Alien Crosstalk (AXT) must not degrade SNR on any cable by more than 0.5dB. • Unshielded Cat6A (Category 6A U/UTP) twisted pair cable that meets ANSI/TIA‐568‐C.2, CENELEC EN 50173 series, and ISO/IEC 11801:2002 including its amendments 1 and 2, is suitable for use in an ION‐E system. The CommScope GigaSPEED X10D® 2091B ETL Verified Category 6A U/UTP Cable (760107201, 2091B BL 4/23 W1000) meets these requirements and is recommended. There are many parameters that impact the SNR of the 10GBase‐T signal received by the CAT Card from the CAP L, or received by the CAP L from the CAT Card. For example, excessive insertion loss degrades the signal level, which results in a degraded SNR. An increase in the noise level will also result in degraded SNR. The most common sources of noise are NEXT (near end crosstalk, interference from pairs within a cable that couple from the TX to RX), and AXT (alien crosstalk, interference from adjacent cables). Additionally, there can be interference from outside sources such as lighting, switching power supplies, radio transmitters in the UHF and VHF bands, and similar sources of RFI/EMI. To guarantee acceptable SNR level, all cable key parameters must be measured as discussed in the next section. M0201AAB © November 2017 CommScope, Inc. ION®‐E Series Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 39 Installing CAP Ls • Minimum Cat6A cable wire size is as follows: – 23 AWG Cat6A cable (minimum EIA/TIA standards) to connect an AP to the CAN/TEN – 24 AWG is the minimum wire size allowed for a Cat6A Patch Cord. • There can never be more than two RJ‐45 connections in a Cat6A cable run, as described below and as shown in Figure 15. Minimizing these connections improves the link margin. – In a non‐cascade, between the CAT Card and the AP, there can be one Cat6A Patch Cord at the start of a Cat6A cable run – a second Cat6A Patch Cord at the end of a Cat6A cable run. In a cascade, between the Primary AP and the Secondary AP, there can be one Cat6A Patch Cord at the start of a Cat6A cable run a second Cat6A Patch Cord at the end of a Cat6A cable run.

Installing CAP Ls • The maximum Cat6A cable lengths for an installation with CAP Ls with a Copper Interface are listed below (see Figure 16). – Between a CAP L and a port on an RJ45 port on a CAT Card in the CAN/TEN, the maximum Cat6A cable length is 100 meters, including all Cat6A cables, Cat6A Patch Cords, and Patch Panels. – – A Cat6A Patch Cord should not exceed 5 meters. For cascaded CAP Ls, the maximum Cat6A cable length between the AUX port on the Primary CAP L and the MAIN port on the Secondary (cascaded) CAP L, including the length of the Cat6A Patch Cord, must be less than 100 meters. The Secondary CAP L must get its power through the DC connector (either from a local supply or hybrid fiber); power over the Cat6A cable to the cascaded unit is not supported. See "Cascade Rules” on page 16. From the CAT/TEN to the CAP L, Cat6A cannot exceed 100 meters.

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 réduction de puissance doit ê tre ré alisé e par ré duction de gain et non par un atté nuateur en sortie du dispositif.

Compliance and Standards Certification COMPLIANCE AND STANDARDS CERTIFICATION This is class A equipment. This equipment can cause radio interference in domestic areas. In this case the operator can be asked to start preventive action. FCC RF Exposure Requirements For installations, which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna selection and installation must be completed in a way to ensure compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending on the RF frequency, rated output power, antenna gain, and the loss between the repeater and antenna, the minimum distance D to be maintained between the antenna location and human beings is calculated according to this formula: D[ cm ] where • P (mW) is the radiated power at the antenna, i.e. the max. rated repeater output power in addition to the antenna gain minus the loss between the repeater and the antenna. • PD (mW/cm²) is the allowed Power Density limit acc. to 47 CFR 1.1310 (B) for general population / uncontrolled exposures which is – – f (MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz 1 for frequencies from 1500MHz to 100,000MHz RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co‐location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3). EMC Standards • • For installations that have to comply with European EN50385 exposure compliance requirements, the following Power Density limits/guidelines (W/m²) according to ICNIRP are valid: – – 2 for frequencies from 10 MHz to 400 MHz f (MHz) / 200 for frequencies from 400 MHz to 2 GHz – 10 for frequencies from 2 GHz to 300 GHz This unit complies with European standard EN60950.
