Observe all cautions and warnings listed in this section. Health and Safety Precautions A high leakage current ground (earth) connection to the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is essential before making any other connections to the PSU. Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the laser beam; do not view the laser beam directly or with optical instruments. M0203A9B_uc July 2022 CommScope, Inc. CommScope ERA CAP L2 with Fiber Interface Page 3 Document Overview High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation. If the CAP L2 power connector is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains power circuit must be provided within easy reach. 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 clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, power down the CAP L2 before servicing the antenna. Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so. The CAP L2 is to be used only with CommScope (NEC Class 2) or Limited Power Source ERA Subrack, or equivalent. 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 ERA hardware components. Not all ERA hardware requires grounding. For those ERA hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the ERA component. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the ERA hardware. CommScope ERA CAP L2 with Fiber Interface Page 4 M0203A9B_uc July 2022 CommScope, Inc. Compliance 1 Notice:

Document Overview 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

P

mW PD

4 mW

cm 2

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/cm) 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 2 Notice:

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). For installations which have to comply with European EN50385 exposure compliance requirements, the following Power Density limits/guidelines (mW/cm) according to ICNIRP are valid:

0.2 for frequencies from 10 MHz to 400 MHz F (MHz) / 2000 for frequencies from 400 MHz to 2 GHz 3 Notice:

1 for frequencies from 2 GHz to 300 GHz Installation of this equipment is in full responsibility of the installer, who has also the responsibility, that cables and couplers are calculated into the maximum gain of the antennas, so that this value, which is filed in the FCC Grant and can be requested from the FCC data base, is not exceeded. The industrial boosters are shipped only as a naked booster without any installation devices or antennas as it needs for professional installation. English:

CommScope ERA CAP L2 with Fiber Interface Page 8 M0203A9B_uc July 2022 CommScope, Inc. FIBER CAP L2 OVERVIEW Fiber CAP L2 Overview This installation guide describes the Fiber CAP L2, which interfaces with a Classic CAN or TEN via an optical link. This allows the Fiber CAP L2 to provide data over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for Fiber CAP L2s is provided over External AC/DC or remotely through hybrid fiber. On the downlink, the Fiber CAP L2 converts data arriving at the CAP L2 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 Classic CAN or TEN. The Fiber CAP L2 is designed for indoor and outdoor use. It is passively cooled with a temperature range of:

-33C to +50C (-27.4F to +122F); see also "Recommended Tools and Material on page 18. The CAP L2 has a typical power consumption that, depending on the model, ranges from 80W to 150W.

For Fiber CAP L2s, you have the option to use composite cable to transport signals from a TEN or Classic CAN via fiber and power from a remote DC supply, and then use the CAP L2 Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit to terminate the power and fiber at the CAP L2. The CAP L2 is designed to be supplied by two LPS (Limited Power Source, <100VA) circuits. By using LPS circuits, some electrical code requirements for installing the power cables are relaxed. The CAP L2 supports a combined/parallel circuit approach. That is, two LPS circuits can be combined in parallel and the CAP L2 supplied by a single, higher power source. In either configuration, all electrical and safety code requirements must be followed. It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to observe the local regulations of the DC service provider and to comply with Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements where applicable.

Connect the Optical Fiber Connecting the optical fiber cable from the hybrid splice box requires removing the CAP L2 cover on the bottom of the AP. 1 The optical fiber cable may be connected with or without the optional SFP+ module pair. Install the hybrid splice box on the CAP L2 bracket. See "Mounting a CAP L2 with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (optional) on page 28. 2 Loosen the eight torque screws on the cover located at the bottom of the CAP L2. 3 Feed the cable from the hybrid splice box through the CAP L2 port, as shown below, and assemble the OCTIS LC Universal lever and insert it into the CAP L2 port as shown in Figure 3.

Connect to Vdc Power Connect the Vdc Power connector as appropriate for this installation. The CAP L2 is powered on as soon as you connect the CAP L2 to a power source; see "Powering on a Fiber CAP L2 on page 45. If powering the CAP L2s with local AC/DC power adapters, please see "Wiring the AC/DC Power Supply Kit on page 25. If powering the CAP L2s with the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box kits, please see "Mounting a CAP L2 with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (optional) on page 28. POWERING ON A FIBER CAP L2 The CAP L2 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 L2 is configured. The Power LED remains a steady green (not flashing) once the unit reaches a fully operational state, which typically occurs within 45 seconds. The Power LED behavior for a Fiber CAP L2 is as follows:

Steady Green CAP/UAP is on and operational Slow Flashing Green The CAP/UAP has been powered on and is initializing or if it is updating software. Fast Flashing green The CAP unit identifier is active via the Flash LED function in the Era GUI. Slow-Flashing Red The Era GUI is reporting a critical alarm for the unit. The CAP can be recovered without replacing hardware. Steady Red The Era GUI is reporting a critical alarm for the unit. The CAP or CAP component (e.g SFP+

module) must be replaced. M0203A9B_uc July 2022 CommScope, Inc.
