MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
1.3
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION FOR MOBILE OPERATION
The FCC requires licensees and manufacturers to meet radiofrequency radiation exposure compliance as
defined by FCC rule 47 CFR §2.1091 and as discussed in FCC document OET Bulletin 65: Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields.
Page 5 of OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C, subtitled: Mobile Devices states the following:
“The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR §2.1091.
For purposes of RF exposure evaluation, a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device
designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a
separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's
radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons.”
Page 7 of OET Bulletin 65, Section 2, subtitled: Guidelines for evaluating Mobile and Portable Devices
states the following:
“Mobile devices identified in 47 CFR §2.1091 that operate at 1.5 GHz or below with an effective
radiated power (ERP) of 1.5 watts or more, or those that operate at frequencies above 1.5 GHz
with an ERP of 3.0 watts or more are required to perform routine environmental evaluation for RF
exposure prior to equipment authorization or use; otherwise, they are categorically excluded.”
The M/A-COM 4.9 GHz Broadband Client radio with 0.5 Watt RF output , installed as a mobile device
using the 5.5 dBi mobile antenna and cable mounts referenced in Table 1-1, has a calculated worst case
ERP of 1.78 Watts relative to an isotropic radiator (EIRP). Therefore, it can be concluded that a M/ACOM 4.9 GHz Client radio installed as a mobile device using the M/A-COM recommended mobile
antenna system is categorically excluded from any requirement to perform routine environmental
evaluation for RF exposure. This is true with other mobile antenna systems having gains up to 7.7 dBi.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-COM, Inc. could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment and may require the user to perform
routine environmental evaluation of the mobile installation.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited
to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other
forms of electromagnetic energy, which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for
both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins
of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to
ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend
specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they
inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer
to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your
exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND SAFETY TRAINING
INFORMATION
To ensure bodily exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use. Always adhere to the following basic guidelines:
1. The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice message.
2. The radio should only be used for necessary work-related communications.
3. The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel. It should never be operated by
children.
4. Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or modifications to the radio may
cause harmful interference and/or cause it to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Only qualified
personnel should service the radio.
5. Always use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, control heads, speakers/mics, etc.). Use of
unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The information listed above provides the user with information needed to make him or her aware of a RF
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC exposure limits of this radio.
1.5
COMMON HAZARDS
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to
the operation of vehiclular radio transmissions. Possible hazards include but are
not limited to:
•
Explosive Atmospheres — Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle while its motor running, be sure
to turn the radio OFF while fueling the vehicle. If the radio is mounted in the trunk of the vehicle, DO
NOT transport containers of fuel in the trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn the radio
OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that the
radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
•
Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems — Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic
devices that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency (RF) energy present
when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle
and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is
transmitting.
•
Electric Blasting Caps — To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use
two-way radios within 1000 feet (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off
Two-Way Radios” (or equivalent) signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA
Standard: 1926.900).
•
Radio Frequency Energy — To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency
energy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the vehicle is within the minimum safe
distance from the antenna as specified in Table 1-1. Refer to Section 1.2 for additional information.
11
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
•
Vehicles Powered By Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas — Radio installation in vehicles powered by
liquefied petroleum gas, where the LP gas container is located in the trunk or other sealed-off space
within the interior of the vehicle, must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard
NFPA 58. This requires:
¾ The space containing the radio equipment must be isolated by a seal from the space containing
the LP gas container and its fittings.
¾ Outside filling connections must be used for the LP gas container.
¾ The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
•
1.6
Vehicles Equipped with Airbags — For driver and passenger safety, avoid mounting the radio or
any other component above or near airbag deployment areas. In addition to driver-side and passengerside front-impact airbags, some vehicles may also be equipped with side-impact airbags. For occupant
safety, verify the location of all airbags within the vehicle before installing the radio equipment.
OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local,
regional, or national government.
In the United States, the mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Operators of two-way radio equipment must be thoroughly
familiar with the rules that apply to the particular type of radio operation. Following these rules helps
eliminate confusion, assures the most efficient use of the existing radio channels, and results in a
smoothly functioning radio network.
When using a two-way radio, remember these rules:
• It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. The radio operates in
much the same way as a telephone “party line.” Therefore, always listen to make sure the channel is
clear before transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. If someone is
sending an emergency message – such as reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident, do not
transmit unless assistance can be offered.
• The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
• It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency messages. The FCC
requires keeping conversations brief and confines them to business. To save time, use coded
messages whenever possible.
• Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send
only essential messages.
• It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio.
Conversations between others sharing the channel must be regarded as confidential.
• The FCC requires self-identification at certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer to the
rules that apply to the particular type of operation for the proper procedure.
• No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified
electronics technician.
CAUTION
12
Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction
of the United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for
up to two (2) years, or both.
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
1.7
MOBILE OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radios and should be avoided
whenever possible:
• • Operating the radio in areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or bridges.
• • Obstructions such as mountains and buildings.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, communication improvement may
sometimes be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction, or moving to a higher

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION FOR FIXED OPERATION
1.8.1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits
DO NOT TRANSMIT with this Client and antenna when persons are within the MAXIMUM
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Radius of the antenna. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance
from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the
allowable MPE level set by the FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW ALL PERSONS
WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION
ABSORPTION, WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STATION
LICENSEE TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE
LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING STATION
TRANSMISSION. THE STATION LICENSEE IS TO ENSURE THAT NO
BYSTANDERS ARE WITHIN THE RADIUS LIMITS.
1.8.2 Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS is unique for each site and is determined
based on the complete installation environment (i.e. co-location, antenna type, transmit power level, etc.).
Determination of the MPE distance is the responsibility of the VIDA Broadband user. Calculation of the
MPE radius is required as part of the installation. The Limit for Uncontrolled Exposure Power Density
(Pd ) is 10 W/m2 for fixed mounted device.
The M/A-COM 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband Client may be installed as a fixed mounted radio. After
installation and commissioning, the safe distance from the 9 dBi omni-directional antenna is greater than
20 cm (8-inches).
1.8.2.1 MPE Calculation for omni-directional Antenna
This MPE Minimum Distance Calculation is based on using a 9 dBi gain omni-directional antenna
mounted directly to the Client RF port.
Basic M/A-COM 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband Client specifications:
P: Maximum Peak Conducted Power = 27 dBm
G: Maximum Omni Antenna Gain = 9 dBi
Frequency Range = 4.94 to 4.99 GHz
R: Minimum Distance between User and Antenna = 0.2 m
Equation from FCC:
Pd = P * GN / ( 4 * π * Rmin 2 )
Pd = 0.5 W * 7.94 / (4 * 3.1415926 * 0.2 2) = 7.9 W / m2 < 10 W / m2
The calculation indicates that the minimum 0.2 meter distance between user and the omni-directional
antenna (directly mounted to the Client RF port) is required when operating the M/A-COM 4.9 GHz
VIDA Broadband Client.

MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
1.8.2.2 MPE Calculation for Directional Antenna
This MPE Minimum Distance Calculation is based on using a directional antenna with more than 9 dBi
antenna gain.
Basic M/A-COM 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband Client specifications:
P: Maximum Peak Conducted Power = 27 dBm;
G: Maximum Omni Antenna Gain – Cable Loss = 27 dBi – 1 dB = 26 dBi; (Use numerical GN value
for the calculation ): GN = 10 ^ (G /10)); For G = 26 dBi, GN = 10 ^ (26 /10) = 398
Frequency Range = 4.94 to 4.99 GHz;
Rmin: Minimum Distance between user and antenna to comply with FCC MPE Level (10 W / m2 );
Equation from FCC:
Pd = P * GN / ( 4 * π * Rmin 2 )
Rmin = SQRT( 0.5 W * GN / (4 * 3.1415926 * 10 ) )
Rmin = 1.26 m, for G =26 (i.e., GN = 398 )
The calculation provides guidelines for users to estimate the minimum safe distance when a high gain
antenna is connected to the M/A-COM 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband Client. The user should always keep a
safe distance from antenna greater than 20 cm or SQRT (3.9789E-3 * GN).
The following table lists fixed installation’s minimum distance for different Effective Antenna Gain
Levels (Antenna Gain – Feeder Cable Loss). In all cases, the minimum safe distance defined in Table 1-2
or 0.2 meters (8 inches), whichever is greater, is the recommended minimum safe distance for fixed
installations.

DESCRIPTION
The VIDA Broadband Client shown in Figure 4-2 is part of M/A-COM’s VIDA Broadband network.
Clients are available in four configurations; High-Power Standard, High-Power Hardened, Low Power
Standard and Low Power Hardened. The High Power Standard model may be installed in fixed or mobile
applications. The Low Power Standard model may be installed in fixed applications. Both the High and
Low Power Standard models are designed to operate from an AC or DC input voltage and utilize an
Ethernet based data port configuration. The Hardened models may be installed in fixed applications,
operates from a DC input voltage and incorporates a 100-BaseFX fiber Optic data port configuration for
increased hardening of the unit.
The VIDA Broadband Client provides public safety grade wireless connectivity for M/A-COM’s 4.9 GHz
VIDA Broadband network. The open standard IEEE-based wireless broadband communications protocol
of 802.16 is utilized, thereby providing true Quality-of-Service (QoS) while operating on contention-free
licensed frequencies. The VIDA Broadband Client provides public safety grade end-point connectivity
for M/A-COM’s 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband network. The 802.16 protocol delivers an over-the-air Data
throughput from 2 to 19 Mbps. All communication over the wireless channel is scheduled by the base
station, with contention slots provided for subscriber stations to request bandwidth. Up to 16
“connections” can be established between the base station and the VIDA Broadband Client, each
connection having a different QoS, allowing for greater flexibility when designing a network.
Low priority processes (such as email) can be mapped to best effort services while high priority processes
(such as streaming video or LMR backhaul) can be mapped to unsolicited grant services (UGS) which
offer guaranteed throughput. Network convergence is provided in the form of 802.16 classifier rules that
ensure network level QoS over the airlink.

for the integration of public safety voice and data airlink protocols including OpenSky , EDACS , and
IP
P25 . This open architecture enables mission critical communications customers to have one integrated
solution to meet numerous voice and data needs.
4.1.2 The VIDA Broadband Network
VIDA Broadband is the broadband extension of VIDA and as a complete broadband distribution system,
can serve as the airlink to the user, as well as a wireless extension of the core IP network upon which the
VIDA network is based (Figure 4-3).
VIDA Broadband integrates the sophisticated QoS technology providing a solid security of the 802.162004 (WiMAX) protocol with the licensed protection of the 4.9 GHz public safety band to provide public
safety grade wireless broadband data services for mission critical applications.

Figure 4-4: VIDA Broadband Network
Figure 4-4 illustrates a typical deployment scenario of the VIDA Broadband 4.9 GHz broadband network.
It provides secure, public safety grade broadband services to both fixed and mobile clients. Conceptually,
the system can be seen as extending the enterprise WAN to remote locations using the licensed 4.9 GHz
public safety band. Some common applications for this system include:
•
Remote surveillance video.
•
Mobile broadband access to vehicles (“Hot Spots”).
•
Connection of remote precincts to the enterprise and/or VIDA network.
•
Backhaul of IP based LMR traffic.
4.1.2.1 VIDA Broadband Network Components/Features
The basic architecture of the 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband network is a point-to-multipoint network. A
system consists of one or more base station(s) and at least one client (Figure 4-4). There are four
configurations of Client devices; the Low-Power Standard, the High-Power Standard, the Low Power
Hardened and the High Power Hardened Client. Standard client devices may be mounted in vehicles with
omni-directional antennas or outdoors with directional antennas.

MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
Figure 4-5: Network Diagram of Small VIDA Broadband System
The M/A-COM VIDA Broadband system implements the 802.16-2004 protocol in a 5 MHz channel,
delivering an over-the-air throughput of up to 19 Mbps to associated Clients. All communication over
this channel is scheduled by the base station, with contention slots provided for subscriber stations to
request bandwidth. This coordinated scheduling feature of the protocol provides significant advantages
such as:
•
Minimizes contention between clients.
•
Maximizes channel utilization.
•
Maximizes ability to coordinate frequency usage among users.
•
Enables guaranteed bandwidth services for critical multimedia applications.
The use of a scheduling protocol also makes the network more resilient to simple denial of service attacks
that can disable other broadband networks.
To allow for great flexibility when designing a network, multiple “connections” can be established
between the base station and each client, with a different QoS for each connection. Low priority
processes (such as email) can be mapped to best effort services while high priority processes (such as
streaming video or LMR backhaul) can be mapped to Unsolicited Grant Services (UGS) to provide
guaranteed throughput.

4.2
CLIENT HARDWARE CONFIGURATIONS
The VIDA Broadband Client is housed in a ruggedized enclosure suitable for mobile or outdoor
installations. The housing satisfies IP66 requirements for outdoor deployments. The Client is designed
with a multiple mounting configurations to allow for mobile or fixed structure mounting. To provide for
flexible RF deployment configurations, the following configurations are possible:
•
Direct mounting of an omni-directional antenna onto the Client antenna port.
•
Direct mounting of a directional antenna on the front face of the Client enclosure.
•
Remote mounting of an antenna through the connection of an RF cable to the antenna port.
The High and Low Power Standard models are designed to operate from 11 to 30 volts AC or DC and
utilize a standard RJ-45 Ethernet configuration. The Hardened models are DC input only and incorporate
a 100-BaseFX fiber Optic data port configuration for increased hardening of the unit.
4.3
CLIENT AND NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS
Client configuration and management is provided via a browser interface to M/A-COM’s Unified
Administration System (UAS). The base station also supports localized SNMP management for
single/limited site deployments. SNMP attributes are defined in the MIB II, the 802.16 and the M/ACOM using an open MIB. Base stations and the Clients may optionally be configured as DHCP and/or
TFTP servers.
All Client station management can be performed over the air. The VIDA Broadband network provides
strong protection against unauthorized network access through the use of certificates for Client
authentication. Clients are allowed onto the network only if validated by the UAS database of recognized
Clients. Once recognized, authentication keys are distributed using RSA Public Key encryption. The
cryptographic methods provided by the security sub layer use DES, 3-DES, and AES algorithms.
4.4
SUMMARY OF KEY FEATURES
4.4.1 Airlink Features
The M/A-COM VIDA Broadband system implements the 802.16-2004 protocol to deliver an over-the-air
throughput of up to 19 Mbps. All communication over the wireless channel is scheduled by the base
station, with contention slots provided for the VIDA Broadband Client to request bandwidth. A protocol
with coordinated scheduling provides significant advantages such as:
•
Minimizing contention between clients.
•
Maximizing channel utilization.
•
Enabling guaranteed bandwidth services for critical multimedia applications.
The use of a scheduling protocol also makes the network more resilient to simple denial of service attacks
that can disable other broadband networks.
Multiple “connections” can be established between the Client and a base station in the network, with
different QoS for each connection, allowing for great flexibility when designing a network. Low priority
processes (such as email) can be mapped to best effort services while high priority processes (such as
streaming video or LMR backhaul) can be mapped to UGS which offer guaranteed throughput.

VIDA BROADBAND CLIENT FIXED STATION ANTENNA OPTIONS
The VIDA Broadband Client allows users to choose many different antenna types to meet their
application requirements. For fixed installations, a directional antenna can significantly extend the
effective range of the Client. For example, a high gain directional antenna may improve signal quality
over a long distance while antennas with less gain or omni-directional may perform better in densely
patterned city regions.
Three basic methods exist for mounting the base station antenna used with a Client. Two of the three
methods utilize mounting positions directly to the Client and the third requires a separate mounting
location and hardware. The three methods include the following:
•
Directly mounting to the Client Antenna Port.
•
Directly mounting to the Client Front Housing utilizing built-in mounting holes.
•
Separate mounting using mounting brackets recommended by the antenna manufacturer and a short
run of RF transmission line.
4.6.1 Direct Antenna mounting to the Antenna Port
Certain smaller sized lower gain omni-directional antennas may be mounted directly to the Client RF
antenna port thus eliminating the need for a RF transmission line. Attention must be given to the antenna
gain, physical size and wind loading characteristics when choosing the right antenna for direct mounting
to the antenna port. A list of recommended antennas and their type of mounting is provided in Table 4-1.
4.6.2 Direct Antenna mounting to the Front Housing
Four mounting holes are provided for mounting an antenna to the front cover housing of the Client.
These mounting holes are spaced at a 1.772” x 5.118” rectangular pattern tapped to accept 1/4-20 UNC2B hardware with a minimum hole depth of 0.31”. Attention must be given to the antenna gain, physical
size and wind loading characteristics when choosing the right antenna for direct mounting to the front
housing. A list of recommended antennas and their type of mounting is provided in Table 4-1.
4.6.3 Antenna Mounting Using the Manufacturer’s Mounting Brackets
Many other industry means for mounting a directional or omni-directional antenna may used when the
installation warrants separate from Client. In this case, however, the total length of cable should not
exceed 5 feet. Use only high quality 50-ohm RF cable with the lowest loss possible at 5 GHz.

MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
PLANNING A FIXED STATION INSTALLATION
Careful planning a preparation of any installation will always benefit the end result. Follow these simple
recommendations when planning your installation:
1. Always read and follow all installation instructions, local and national building and electrical codes,
and general safety rules.
2. Before beginning the installation, collect information from the Site Deployment Order (SDO) specific
to the site access such as:
•
Permission to access the site.
•
Important contact names and telephone numbers.
•
Location of and directions to the site.
•
Keys and/or lock combinations to access the site and equipment shelter (if any), or points of
contact to obtain them.
•
Site entry alarm system pass-codes and/or disable keys.
•
Information about work practices needed to work safely at the site.
3. Other important information that may or may not be included on the SDO includes:
•

•
Applicable inspections completed (pole installation, electrical, local build code, etc.).
4. When necessary, pre-stage a site installation to become familiar with the specific hardware and
cabling, tooling and supplies that are needed to complete the installation.
6.1
SITE EVALUATION
Before installing the VIDA Broadband Client, the System Engineer and installer should plan the site
installation. Since higher RF frequencies do not readily pass through trees or buildings, consideration
should be given to the following:
32
•
Ensure there are no obstructions (such as buildings or trees) in the radio path between base station and
client units.
•
Ensure the any future building construction or tree growth will not obstruct the radio path.
•
Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the Fresnel Zone so there is minimal interference from
obstacles along the radio propagation path.
•
Ensure the installation adheres to any local and national building codes and permits.
•
Ensure sufficient electrical power is available at the installation site.
•
When using directional antennas, align the antenna to maximize the received signal strength
indication (RSSI) from the base station.
•
Ensure the area around an omni-directional antenna is clear (at least 30 inches) so as not to distort the
RF pattern.
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
6.2
•
Locate the Client away from any sources of interference that could degrade the performance of the
equipment.
•
Ensure the base station and clients are within each other’s maximum RF coverage range.
•
Maximum standard CAT-5 cable length connecting the Client to the Ethernet LAN is 100 meters and
maximum antenna cable length is 5-feet.
POLE-MOUNT INSTALLATIONS
The VIDA Broadband Client is designed to accommodate pole mounting. Pole mounting a Client may
include mounting the unit onto a horizontally suspended light post or side arm, or a vertical telephone
pole, mast pipe or tower leg. The basic example of each mounting method is depicted in Figure 6-1.
An optional kit containing two mounting brackets and hardware for attaching the Client to a pole may be
purchased. The optional mounting brackets accommodate pole diameters from one (1) to six (6) inches.
The installer must provide straps necessary to secure the Client brackets to the pole.
CAUTION
When mounting the Client on a pole, the installer must ensure the mounting bands
are secure and resistance movement or rotation.

ELECTRICAL POWER
The Hardened Client requires a DC input power source while the Standard Client is capable of either AC
or DC power input configurations (see Table 7-1 and Table 2-1). The input voltage source can be from
11 to 30 volts DC or 16 to 26 VAC. Careful consideration should be given regarding the voltage drop
across the selected power cabling to maintain the input power requirements. If a backup power source is
33
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
desired, it must be provided by an external backup power source. Refer to Section 2, Specifications for
additional information.
CAUTION
6.4
The Hardened Clients require a DC input power source. DO NOT apply an AC
power source to a Hardened Client.
SITE GROUNDING
Installers should review the recommended grounding procedures in the M/A-COM Site Grounding and
Lightning Protection Guidelines manual, AE/LZT 123 4618/1 and ensure a suitable ground is installed
between the station ground lug and earth ground. Grounding must also be in compliance with any local
and national electrical codes.

MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
INSTALLING A FIXED STATION CLIENT
Become familiar with the hardware and electrical components of the system before
attempting installation. Read and follow the installation instructions found in this manual
and all other user and installation instructions for associated hardware. If any questions
arise that are not answered in this or any other supplied instructions, contact the M/ACOM Technical Assistance Center for assistance.
This section provides general information regarding installation of the VIDA Broadband Client in fixed
station configurations. For best results, the Client should be installed by one of the many M/A-COM
Authorized Service Centers located throughout the United States. Their experienced service personnel can
provide a proper radio installation and make any final adjustments that may be needed.
This manual attempts to cover the most common installation requirements for the Client. However,
variations in sites may require pre-planning to reduce installation time and improve the overall
professionalism of the installation. When necessary, pre-stage a site installation to become familiar with
specific hardware and cabling requirements, tooling and supplies that are needed to complete the
installation.
The VIDA Broadband Client resides in a Die Casting Metal Chassis to meet tough environmental
conditions. The user can choose different antenna types (omni-directional or directional) depending on
the application. It is preferred that the user specifies 50-Ohm low loss cable capable of operating at 5
GHz and having a maximum length of 5-feet between the antenna connector and antenna port on the
Client to avoid further loss of RF power.
The Standard Client is designed to operate from AC or DC while the Hardened Client is DC input only.
Total power consumption for High Power Clients is less than 16 Watts. Total power consumption for
Low Power Clients is less than 8 Watts. The Client uses a weatherproof connector for the RJ45 and Fiber
Optic DATA connections and for the AC/DC connector. External protection devices for lightning and
power surges should be installed in-line with the antenna ports, power ports and Ethernet connections on
all configurations except the hardened models (built in).
Also, M/A-COM recommends using a DC power source for all installations where the VIDA Broadband
Client may experience the effects of frequent thunderstorms. Using a DC power source may provide
extra isolation from lightning surges that are usually induced through AC power transformers when
connected directly to the AC power mains. Also, the Hardened models offer greater protection through
the use of built-in surge protection devices and Fiber Optic connectivity. Always follow all local and
national electrical and building codes when installing surge protection devices.
Both the RJ-45 and AC/DC power connectors achieve weatherproof properties only when
properly mated with approved cabling. The dust cap provided for the RJ45 Service Port
should be installed at all times during normal operation.
7.1
TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The following tools and test equipment are recommended for installing and testing the Client:
•
Common hand tools, including screwdrivers, wire cutters, pliers, open and box end wrenches, etc.
•
Modular Plug Tool, 3-231652-0 (Tyco/Electronics-AMP).
Includes; Hand Tool, 2-231652-0 and Die Set, 1-853400-0.
35
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
•
7.2
Digital Voltmeter (DVM), capable of measuring AC and DC voltage.
CUSTOMER SUPPLIED MATERIALS
The customer or designated installer must provide the following:
7.3
•
Ethernet or fiber optic Cable, length as required, Ethernet cable not to exceed 100 ft. (refer to Section
11.1.1 for cable specifications).
•
RF coaxial cable (directional or remotely mounted antenna), i.e. LMR-400 Low loss coaxial cable.
•
Pole mounting straps, i.e. Band-It® bands and buckles.
•
Power source (Standard models: 11 to 30 volts AC or DC, Hardened models: DC only, 16 watts
maximum AC or DC input power).
MOUNTING THE CLIENT FOR FIXED OPERATION
As shown in Figure 6-1, pole-mounting brackets can be installed onto the mounting surface of the Client
so it may be mounted horizontally, such as on the arm of a light post, the side of a mast pole or the leg of
a tower or other vertical post. In both cases, two metal straps (not included) are inserted into slots on the
brackets and tightened to the pole using industrial grade strapping equipment.
It is important to mount the Client so that its heat sink fins are positioned vertically, as
shown in Figure 6-1. This gives the Client the best thermal performance, allowing air to
move naturally through the fins.
Mounting the Client with the fins vertically also allows the RF antenna port to be in the best position for
mounting an omni-directional antenna, as shown in Figure 6-1.
7.3.1 Attaching the Mounting Brackets
1. Orient the brackets so when the Client is mounted on a pole, the heat sink fins are vertical. This
position provides the best thermal convection (vertical fins) and shields the multiple connectors from
rain.
2. Attach mounting brackets to Client using the flat washer, lock washer, and hex head bolt included
with the brackets. (Ensure that the lock washer is closest to the bolt’s head followed by the flat
washer positioned next to the mounting bracket.)
3. The preferable mounting scheme is to have omni-directional antenna pointing straight up.
7.3.2 Attaching the Client to a Pole
1. Strap the Client to pole using Band-It bands and buckles (not supplied). Follow the manufacturer’s
guidelines for proper band installation techniques.
2. After installation, check the overall unit for stability and verify that the unit is not loose fitting.
7.4
POWER CABLES
Power is supplied to the Client through a 2-pin connector. Both AC and DC input power uses the same
power connector. The mating connector is Conxall Multi-Con-X 2-pin connector #4180-2SG-300).
36
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
7.4.1 Power Connection
The High and Low Power Standard models require 11 to 30 VDC or 16 to 26 VAC. Hardened models are
“DC Only” and must NOT be connected to an AC voltage source.
1. Connect the supply voltage per the pin out shown in Table 7-1 (AC) or Table 7-2 (DC):

GROUNDING STUDS
Mounting studs for grounding the Client are located on two sides of the Client. For safety purposes, earth
ground and lightning protection connections should be made as required using either ground stud
location. Further, use only one ground stud in an installation to prevent unwanted ground paths through
the housing.
7.6
NETWORK/DATA CONNECTION
The Client connects to the network using either a standard Ethernet RJ-45 protocol or Fiber optic
connection. All DATA connectors are industrial grade, rugged, UV rated, weatherproof, dustproof and
made for use in extreme electrical and climatic conditions. Each connector meets IP67 industrial standard
for weatherproof and dustproof electrical connections.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
See Section 1.8 for further information regarding Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) limits of RF radiation set by the FCC.
The omni-directional antenna should be mounted vertically directly onto the antenna port. There is also a
mounting feature on the Client to support the mounting a directional antenna.
7.7.1 Installing an Omni-directional Antenna
An omni-directional antenna may be mounted directly to the Client using the following procedure:
1. Connect an N-type male to male RF adapter (not included) to the omni-directional antenna. Hand
tighten the connector.
All cables and connectors must be capable of passing frequencies up to 5.2 GHz with minimal loss.
Total cable length should not exceed 5 feet to further reduce loss characteristics.
2. For non-hardened Clients, external lightning protection is required to provide maximum protection to
the site. Connect the optional lightning suppressor to the antenna assembly as shown in Figure 7-1.
Recommend using M/A-COM # PT-009560.
3. Connect the completed antenna assembly to the Client antenna connector.

INSTALLING A MOBILE STATION CLIENT
This section provides general information regarding installation of the VIDA Broadband Client in mobile
station configurations. For best results, the Client should be installed by one of the many M/A-COM
Authorized Service Centers located throughout the United States. Their experienced service personnel can
provide a proper radio installation and make any final adjustments that may be needed.
8.1
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Before starting the installation, plan carefully to ensure the installation meets the following requirements:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Safe for the operator and passengers.
Away from airbag deployment area.
Convenient for the operator to use.
Neat, safe and clean.
Protected from water damage.
Easy to service.
Cable connections accessible.
Out of the way of auto mechanics.
Out of the way of passengers.
Vehicular Electronics - Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of
electronic devices which may be prone to malfunction due to the lack of protection
from radio frequency energy present when a radio is transmitting. If the vehicle
contains such equipment, consult the dealer to determine if such electronic
equipment will perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
Air Bags – For driver and passenger safety, avoid mounting the radio above or
near airbag deployment areas. Note that vehicles may contain front driver and
passenger side airbags as well as side airbags. For occupant safety, verify the
location of all airbags before installing radio equipment.
For passenger safety, mount the radio securely so that the unit will not break loose
in the event of a collision. This is especially important in station wagons, vans and
similar type installations where a loose radio could be extremely dangerous to the
vehicle occupants.
When determining a mounting location for the Client and associated peripherals, avoid high traffic
environments within the passenger compartment, trunk or other compartment where feet, tools or other
objects may accidentally damage cable connections. The Client and other peripherals should be mounted
such that connectors and other fragile components face away from high traffic areas, yet accessible for
servicing.
Also, careful attention must be given to ventilation and heat dissipation. The Client should be mounted
with the heat sink fins vertically positioned and ample air space around the unit.
41
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
8.1.1 Tools Required

locations and pre-drill pilot holes. Install
using appropriate hardware.
44
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
8.3
POWER AND DATA CABLE INSTALLATION
To assure the feasibility of planned cable routing, it is suggested to run the cables before mounting the
Client. Other associated hardware options such as cameras, mobile terminals, etc. should be considered
when planning the cable runs.
Be sure to leave slack in each cable so the radio may be pulled out for servicing. Coil any surplus cables
and secure them out of the way. Try to route the cables away from locations where they will be exposed
to heat (exhaust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acid, sharp edges or mechanical damage or where
they will be a nuisance or hazard to automobile mechanics, the driver or passengers. Keep wiring away
from electronic computer modules, other electronic modules and ignition circuits to help prevent
interference between these components and radio equipment.
In addition, try to utilize existing holes in the firewall, trunk wall and the channels above or beneath
doors. Channels through door and window columns that are convenient for running cables may also be
used when practical. Again, protect cable runs from accidental damage by avoiding sharp edges and
unprotected cable access holes.
8.3.1 Installing The Main Power Cable
Power is supplied to the Client through a 2-pin Conxall Multi-Con-X 2-pin connector #4180-2SG-300).
In mobile applications, the High and Low Power Standard client will operate from 11 to 30 VDC. Prewire the DC power cable per the following instructions.
8.3.1.1 Install Main Fuse Holder and 10-AWG Red Wire
The main power fuse, its holder, and related items are included in Fuse Distribution Rail Kit FS23057
illustrated in Table 8-1. Follow the procedure in this section to wire fused main power from the vehicle’s
battery to the location of the radio and the Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly in the vehicle’s trunk. The
Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly is installed during the subsequent procedure (Section 8.3.1.2).
CAUTION
Do not install the fuse holder or the red wire near the engine, transmission or exhaust
system. Excessive engine heat can cause permanent damage to these components and
can lead to intermittent electrical connection to the battery.
Before making connections to the battery’s positive post, carefully disconnect the
battery’s negative (ground) cable. This will prevent tools or other metallic objects
which come in contact with the battery’s positive terminal from shorting to
vehicle chassis ground, causing sparks or even a fire or an explosion! When
disconnecting the negative cable, cover/insulate the positive post if it is not
already so a tool cannot short between the posts.
A fuse must not be installed in the main fuse holder until all wiring is complete.
This will prevent the unit from powering up prematurely and/or causing an inrush of current that could lead to shorting of the battery, sparks, or even fire.
1. Strip one of the ATC Fuse Holder’s wires and crimp a 3/8-inch ring terminal to it. Both items are
included in the Fuse Distribution Rail Kit.
2. Verify the fuse is NOT in the Fuse Holder.
45
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
3. Connect the ring terminal directly to the battery’s positive post (or if present, to a stud on the
vehicle’s main/non-switched power distribution terminal block).
4. Strip the Fuse Holder’s other wire, strip one end of the 20-foot long 10-AWG red wire, and then
connect these two wires together using a 10-AWG moisture-resistant butt splice. The red wire and the
butt splice for this connection is included in the Fuse Distribution Rail Kit.
CAUTION
Plan the routing of the 10-AWG red wire carefully, using an existing access hole in the
vehicle’s firewall if possible. Alternately, drill a new hole approximately 3/8-inch in
diameter and install a small rubber grommet to protect the wire from chafing on the
hole’s sharp metal edge. To prevent fumes and moisture from entering the
passenger compartment, this hole/grommet/wire combination must also be sealed
with a silicon-based sealer before completing the installation.
5. Route the other (load) end of the 20-foot long red wire through a wire-loom then through the
grommet in the firewall. This load end of the red wire will later be connected to a Fuse Block clipped
on the Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly (both parts of the Fuse Distribution Rail Kit). The Fuse
Distribution Rail Assembly will be located near the radio in the trunk.
6. Continue routing the 20-foot red wire through channels in the vehicle to the location of the Client.
Remove interior panels, door kick panels, etc. Protect the wire from possible chafing where
necessary.
8.3.1.2 Assemble and Install Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly
The Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly must be completely assembled and installed in the vicinity near the
Client. This rail assembly, included in Fuse Distribution Rail Kit FS23057, comes preassembled with
only one (1) Fuse Block on the rail.
The Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly has a DIN-type rail allowing additional Fuse Blocks to be added to
it if fuse expansion is necessary in the future, such as for multiple radio installations. The rail may be cut
to decrease its length if necessary, but enough room for additional future expansion should be considered
first. Install the rail in accordance with the following procedure:
1. Mount the Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly in the vicinity of the Client’s mounting location, but
where casual contact is not likely. Use self-threading screws (not supplied) and any available
mounting slots in the DIN rail to mount the block.
2. Strip one end of the 10-AWG black wire (included with the Fuse Distribution Rail Kit) and crimp a
3/8-inch ring terminal to it.
3. Near the Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly, locate an area of vehicle chassis ground within
approximately six (6) inches of the assembly and strip the area of any paint or dirt to expose a bare
metal surface.
4. Drill a hole as necessary and connect the ring terminal to chassis ground. Use a self-threading screw
or other appropriate hardware to ensure a reliable metal-to-metal contact. Tighten securely.
5. Cut the black wire to a length long enough to reach a green-yellow Grounding Block on the Fuse
Distribution Rail Assembly, plus length for a service loop. Strip the end to prepare it to connect to a
Grounding Block.

6. The Fuse Distribution Rail Assembly has two greenyellow Grounding Blocks. Each Grounding Block has
two wire-clamps with associated wire-clamp release
slots. As shown in the photo at the right, insert a #1 or
#2 flat-blade screwdriver completely into one of the
wire-clamp release slots. Insert the screwdriver until it is
captured in a vertical position as shown in the photo in
the next step.
7. Insert the stripped end of the black wire fully into the
wire-clamp beside the screwdriver, and then remove the
screwdriver to lock the wire in the clamp. The adjacent
Grounding Block is electrically connected together, so
this black wire grounds both blocks.
8. Prepare to connect the 10-AWG red wire from the Fuse
Holder at the vehicle battery to the Fuse Block of the
DIN rail assembly by cutting off the excess length and
stripping the end. Leave enough wire length for a service
loop.
9. As shown in the photo at the right, connect the 10-AWG
red wire to the Fuse Block’s supply-side wire-clamp.
8.3.1.3 Installing the DC Power Cable to the Client
1. Prepare a short 12 to 14 AWG red and black wire (not
supplied) to run between the fuse block and the Client’s
DC power connection.
2. Install a Conxall pin on one end of the red wire. Install
the red wire into Pin 1 of the Conxall connector.
3. Install a Conxall pin on one end of the black wire.
Install the black wire into Pin 2 of the Conxall
connector.
4. Assemble the shell and strain relief to the connector
body.
5. Mate the assembled connector to the Client’s 2-pin
power connector as follows: Visually align the key and
firmly push and turn the outer locking ring clockwise

10. Tie and stow all cables and wires as necessary so they
remain out of the way of casual contact, and so wire
chafe is avoided.
11. Apply the sticker included in the Fuse Distribution Rail Kit in the vicinity of the Fuse Block as future
reference for service personnel.
Installing a fuse with the wrong current rating could cause an unsafe condition and/or a
prematurely blown fuse. Verify the correct fuse value for the device being installed.
CAUTION
8.4
GROUNDING STUDS
Mounting studs for grounding the Client are located on two sides of the Client. While these studs are
primarily used for grounding in Fixed Station installations, it is recommended to run a ground strap from
one of the two ground studs to a nearby chassis ground.
CAUTION
8.5
DO NOT connect the Return (PWR-) connection directly to the negative battery post.
In the event the negative battery post wiring becomes disconnected from the chassis,
this would cause all vehicle current to source back through the Client connection to
ground, thus causing damage to the client.
NETWORK/DATA CONNECTION
The Standard Client in a mobile configuration connects to the network using a standard Ethernet RJ-45
protocol. The DATA connector is a Tyco/Electronics, Industrial Circular Ethernet Connector
Part number: 1738607-2, an industrial grade, rugged, UV rated, weatherproof, dustproof and made for
use in extreme electrical and climatic conditions. The connector meets IP67 industrial standard for
weatherproof and dustproof electrical connections. Refer to Section 11.1 for cable/connection installation
instructions.
The service port has a dust cap which is normally installed to provide sealing when not in use. Sealing of
all other ports on the Client is provided through mandatory usage connections.

CONFIGURATION, OPERATION AND ALIGNMENT
9.1
CONFIGURATION
The Unified Administration System (UAS) manages all Client activities. UAS activities include system
configuration such as access permissions, Quality of Service connectivity, etc. UAS activities also
include hardware configuration such as channel assignment and power output.
All configuration requirements are managed by the UAS. Specific configuration may begin once a MAC
address for the specific Client has been assigned in the UAS database. Refer to the UAS manager for
specific requirements regarding channel assignment and RF power output.
1. Apply power to the site.
2. Verify proper operation by performing the following basic checks:
a. Verify that the AC or DC power supply is operating properly.
b. Notify the UAS manager that the site is on-line.
c. Verify with the UAS manager that the site has full connectivity and all is operational.
9.2
OPERATION
Operational requirements for the Client are simplified. All Client activities are managed by the UAS,
therefore on-site activities are minimized. Only hardware related on-site operational requirements exist.
Perform the following operation checks:
1. Make sure the site meets the operational requirements defined by the UAS.
2. Plug the Serial RSSI Test Box into the serial test port and verify that sufficient RSSI is present from
the Base Station.
3. Ensure that all cables, connections, access panels, etc. are properly secured before leaving the site.
4. Follow up on any specific site deployment tasks not covered in this manual.
9.3
CLIENT PRETEST AND ALIGNMENT
The Client is aligned and tested at the factory before shipment to ensure that product specifications and
regulatory requirements are met. No further field adjustments are required. If a unit is suspected to need
realignment, return the unit to the manufacturer for repair.
9.4
FIXED ANTENNA ALIGNMENT AND POLARIZATION
On Clients using a directional antenna, it will be necessary to properly align the antenna. The following
procedure describes this process.
1. Verify that the UAS has connectivity to the Client.
2. Connect the RSSI Test Box to the serial service port.
3. Verify the antenna is mounted in the proper polarity (horizontal or vertical).
4. Loosen the pinion bolt and adjust the antenna for best RSSI reading.
5. Tighten all hardware, disconnect Test Box and seal all connections.

10.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
If a unit is suspected to be faulty or need service and repair, perform the following checks:
1. Visually inspect the installation for obvious defects such as worn, weathered or frayed cabling.
2. Verify that the unit is receiving sufficient voltage and current to the power input connector.
3. Use the Serial RSSI Test Box and verify signal quality from the Base Station.
4. Replace any defective antenna or power source components as required, and return any inoperable
Clients to the manufacturer for repairs.
10.2 TUNING AND ALIGNMENT
Every VIDA Broadband Client is fully aligned, including TX Frequency and RF Power Output, before
shipment to ensure compliance with various regulatory requirements and product performance.
No further tuning or alignment is required by the customer or installer during the installation process.
Basic control of the Client, including RF power output and channel assignment, is accomplished by the
UAS during site configuration.
The Client is not a field repairable unit. If a unit is suspected to need servicing or re-alignment, then the
unit should be removed from service and returned to M/A-COM for repairs. Periodic checks of frequency
and modulation bandwidth should be performed during routine preventative maintenance checks.

11 CABLE FABRICATION
The following sections provide instructions for fabricating the network cable connections needed to
connect to a Client. The assembly procedures are provided for reference and are superseded by any
instructions provided with the connector. Always read and follow any instructions provided by the
connector manufacturer
11.1 ETHERNET CABLE PLUG KIT
The Ethernet cable connected to the Client uses a RJ-45 connector protected by an Industrial Circular
Ethernet plug assembly that protects the RJ-45 connector from the elements.
The Stranded Wire Plug Kit (Tyco Electronics # 1738607-2), shown in Figure 11-1, consists of an
8-position Category 5e RJ-45 plug, load bar, and plug assembly. The load bar is used to hold the cable
wires for insertion into the RJ-45 plug. The RJ-45 plug must be terminated and then installed into the
plug assembly. The RJ-45 plug is held in the plug assembly by the locking tab. The cable fitting holds
the RJ-45 plug in the plug assembly and seals the plug at the cable end. When engaged, the connectors
are held together by a locking mechanism (coupling ring and bayonet lock), which prevents accidental
disconnection. The engaged connectors are sealed by the interfacial seal.

52
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
11.1.3 Cable Preparation
Prepare the cable using the following procedure:
CAUTION
Reasonable care must be taken not to scrape or nick any part of the cable during
the stripping operation.
1. Slide the plug assembly (cable fitting end first) onto the cable. See Figure 11-2, Detail A.
2. Proper strip length is necessary to insert the conductors into the contact slots. The recommended strip
length is given in Figure 11-2, Detail B.
Insulation of individual conductors must not be cut or removed. This could result in
shorted or open connections.
Figure 11-2: Cable Preparation
3. Conductor pairs must be oriented side–by–side in the order shown in Figure 11-3, Detail A. The end
of the cable jacket must be flattened so that the conductor pairs lay side–by–side.
4. Properly sequenced conductor pairs should extend into the cable jacket to the dimension given in
Figure 11-3, Detail B, creating an oblong shape.
5. The conductor tips must be trimmed evenly to the dimension shown in Figure 11-3, Detail C. Proper
orientation of conductors must be maintained.
6. The conductor pairs must be untwisted and arranged according to EIA/TIA T568A or T568B (defined
in Figure 11-3, Detail D). IT IS CRITICAL that the pairs are NOT untwisted inside the cable jacket.
When arranging conductor pairs, IT IS IMPORTANT that Conductor 6 be crossed over Conductors 4 and
5 as shown in Figure 11-3, Detail C.

MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
11.1.4 Termination
Terminate the RJ-45 plug to the cable end using the following procedure:
1. The conductors (maintaining arrangement) must be inserted into the load bar (oriented so that the
cable notch will align with the contacts) until the cable jacket rests against the cable notch. The
conductor twist must not enter the front of the load bar. The conductors must be trimmed evenly and
square with the front edge of the load bar to the dimension given in Figure 11-4, Detail A.
Figure 11-4: Termination Requirements
2. The conductors must be retracted from the load bar so that the conductors protrude from the end of
the load bar to the dimension given in Figure 11-4, Detail B. The top of the load bar must not be
deformed.
If the load bar is deformed, the conductor twist entered the front of the load bar
55
MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G
3. The load bar (oriented so that the cable notch is aligned with the contacts) must be inserted into the
RJ-45 plug until it butts against the mating feature of the RJ-45 plug, and the conductors are bottomed on
the wire circuits. The cable jacket must be against the cable notch after the load bar is fully seated. The
conductors must not be exposed between the cable jacket and cable notch. The ends of the conductors
must be clearly visible through the front of the RJ-45 plug. See Figure 11-4, Detail C.
If the conductors do not bottom on the wire circuits, they must be re-trimmed (after
removing the load bar/cable assembly from the RJ-45 plug), and re-inserted into the
RJ-45 plug. If the conductors are too short, the cable must be re-stripped.
4. The RJ-45 plug must be terminated to the cable according to the instructions included with the
tooling.
11.1.5 Assembly
Assemble the RJ-45 connector into the plug assembly using the following procedures:
1. Align the locking tab of the RJ-45 plug with the wide slot at the front (end opposite the cable fitting)
of the plug assembly. See Figure 11-5, Detail A.
2. Depress the locking tab, and insert the RJ-45 plug into the plug assembly. Gently pull the cable until
the RJ-45 plug is fully seated. There should be approximately 12.7 mm [.50 in.] of the RJ-45 plug
protruding from the front of the plug assembly. See Figure 11-5, Detail B.
To avoid damage to the connection, the cable must be pulled GENTLY when
seating the RJ-45 plug.
CAUTION
3. While holding the RJ-45 plug in position, rotate the cable fitting as shown in Figure 11-5, Detail B
until tightened to a torque of 1.13 N–m [10 lbf–in.].
The given torque must be met in order for the cable fitting to seal the plug at the cable
end.
