This allows the CAP M2 to provide data over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi-Mode (MMF). Power for CAP M2s is provided over External AC/DC or remotely through hybrid fiber (see Connect The Cables To The CAP M2 (page 37)). On the downlink, the CAP M2 converts data arriving at the CAP M2 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 CAP M2 is designed for indoor and outdoor (IP67) use. It is without fan unit or with fan unit cooled with a temperature range of: -33C to +50C (-27.4F to +122F); see also Recommended Tools and Material.
