CommScope Era Fiber Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 3 Era System Overview ERA SYSTEM OVERVIEW CommScope Era coordinates wireless capacity throughout the entire coverage area via a single centralized head-end location or from an operators existing C-RAN hub. Based on ION-E, Era operates on the same cost-efficient standard IT cabling as ION-E and is compatible with ION-E deployments. Era systems bring 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. An Era system comprises the components listed below. Central Area Node (CAN)provides server-level control and primary signal distribution. It combines the signals from multiple operators and distributes those signals within a venue or multiple venues. There are two configuration modes available for the CAN: Classic and Switching. The Classic CAN configuration is appropriate for when all the BTS and Baseband sources are located in a centralized space in the same venue as the Classic CAN. You install RF Donor (RFD) Cards and CPRI Digital Donor (CDD) Cards in a Classic CAN, which digitizes the analog BTS signals from the RFD Cards and combines those with the BBU CPRI digital signals from the CDD Cards, and then distributes the RF signals to the TENs. The TENs then provide the RF signals to the Access Points (APs). The Classic CAN also supports APs that are directly connected to CAT or OPT Cards installed in the Classic CAN chassis. Wide-area Integration Nodes (WINs) are not supported by a Classic CAN. Users have full and flexible control of all signal routing via the Era GUI. The Switching CAN configuration is appropriate for when WINs are required to allow operators to bring in baseband signals from multiple remote locations to fully leverage the C-RAN architecture in their hubs. All operator Baseband signals (analog BTS and BBU CPRI) are supplied to the Switching CAN by the WINs, so no RFD or CDD Cards can be installed in the Switching CAN. The Switching CAN then combines the signals from all WINs and distributes those signals to the TENs, and the TENs provide the signals to the APs. APs are not directly connected to a Switching CAN. Users have full and flexible control of all signal routing via the Era GUI. Wide-Area Integration Node (WIN)interfaces between a Switching CAN and RF sources, which makes C-RAN possible in Era by allowing operators to bring in signals from multiple remote locations kilometers away. You install RFD and CDD Cards in the WIN, which takes the analog BTS signals from the RFD Cards and combines those with the BBU CPRI digital signals from the CDD Cards, and distributes the RF sources to a Switching CAN. Transport Expansion Node (TEN)is an expansion node connected to the CAN via fiber and can be located throughout the venue coverage area. A single TEN can support, dependent on the AP type and powering method, 12 to 32 Access Points (APs), which greatly reduces the number of fiber runs between the head-end and each AP. Access Point (AP)connects a Classic CAN or TEN to antennas or other wireless devices. On the downlink, an 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 Classic CAN or TEN. APs provide pass-through support for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices over a common cable. An AP can be any of the Universal Access Points or Carrier Access Points. This guide uses CAN to collectively refer to Central Area Nodes. When information pertains to a specific CAN mode, Classic CAN and Switching CAN will be used. This guide uses Access Point (AP) to collectively refer to all versions of the Universal Access Point (UAP) and the Carrier Access Point (CAP). Fiber APs collectively refers to the CAP H, CAP M, and the Fiber CAP L. When information pertains to a specific AP type, that AP will be identified. CommScope Era Fiber Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 4 M0201ANC_uc June 2019 CommScope, Inc. Fiber CAP L Overview FIBER CAP L OVERVIEW There is one Optical Fiber and two Copper CAP L interface variants. This installation guide describes the Fiber CAP L, which interfaces with a Classic CAN or TEN via an optical link. This allows the Fiber CAP L to provide data over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for Fiber CAP Ls is provided over External AC/DC or remotely through hybrid fiber. On the downlink, the Fiber 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 Classic CAN or TEN. Figure 1 shows how a Fiber CAP L can be deployed in an Era system.

SMF or MMF connects the Fiber CAP L via its Optical Port 1 to the OPT Card. You connect CAP Ls to an OPT Card installed in Slots L1, L2, L3, or L4 in the TEN or Classic CAN. 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 Primary and 32 total, per TEN or Classic CAN. Maximum Number of Fiber CAP Ls Supported in an Era System 6 8 Fiber CAP Ls must be connected to OPT Cards installed in Slots L1, L2, L3, or L4 in a TEN or Classic CAN. OPT Cards installed in WCS Slots L5 - L8 cannot be used to connect APs. CommScope Era Fiber Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 10 M0201ANC_uc June 2019 CommScope, Inc. Plan and Prepare for a Fiber CAP L Installation Cascade Rules for Fiber CAP Ls When cascading a Secondary Fiber CAP L or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules. In a cascade, the CAP L connected directly to the Classic CAN or TEN is the Primary Fiber CAP L, and the CAP L that connects to the Primary Fiber CAP L is the Secondary Fiber CAP L. The cascaded unit must use the same transport typeyou cannot cascade a Copper CAP L to a Fiber CAP L. 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 Fiber CAP Leither CAP L can transmit all the 320 MHz RF bandwidth or any subset of it. The Primary and Secondary Fiber CAP Ls power up as soon as power is applied to them. In a cascade, the Era GUI discovers and readies the Primary CAP L for RF first, and then the Secondary CAP L will be discovered and readied for RF. For information on the Power LED behavior, see "Powering on a Fiber CAP L on page 62. SMF or MMF from Optical Port 2 of the Primary Fiber CAP L connects to Optical Port 1 of the Secondary Fiber CAP L. You can connect the following to the Primary Fiber CAP L a Secondary Fiber CAP L an Ethernet device both a Secondary Fiber CAP L (Port 2) and an Ethernet device (Aux Port). A cascaded CAP L pair can support one auxiliary device; the auxiliary device must be connected to Port A on the Primary Fiber CAP L, it cannot be connected to the Secondary CAP L. To add a Secondary AP, you must add an Optical OCTIS kit to the Primary CAP L, see "OCTIS Kits on page 9. To add an Ethernet device, you must add an RJ45 OCTIS kit to the Primary CAP L, see "OCTIS Kits on page 9. M0201ANC_uc June 2019 CommScope, Inc. CommScope Era Fiber Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 11 Plan and Prepare for a Fiber CAP L Installation Cat6A Cable Requirements for Ethernet Devices If you connect an Ethernet device to a Fiber CAP L, you must observe the following rules. Plenum rated cable must be used whenever it is required by local electrical codes. Shielded twisted pair is not required unless operating in a high RFI/EMI environment. CommScope strongly recommends using factory terminated and tested Cat6A Patch Cord. 24 AWG Cat6A cabling is sufficient for the cable run between the Fiber CAP L and the Ethernet device. The maximum attached cable length from Port A on the Fiber CAP L to the Ethernet device is 3 meters (9.8 feet); see Figure 5. From a Fiber CAP L to an Ethernet device, Cat6A cannot exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) Fiber CAP L 24 AWG Cat6A Cable Ethernet Device Figure 5. Maximum Cat6A Cable Length between a Fiber CAP L and an Ethernet Device Safely Working with Era Hardware The following sections provide important information that you should read and know before working with any Era hardware. 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. 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. CommScope Era Fiber Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 12 M0201ANC_uc June 2019 CommScope, Inc. Property Damage Warnings Plan and Prepare for a Fiber CAP L Installation 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 as specified in Table 6 while the system is operating. Whenever possible, power down the CAP L before servicing the antenna. Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so. The CAP L 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. M0201ANC_uc June 2019 CommScope, Inc.

CommScope Era Fiber Low Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 21 Plan and Prepare for a Fiber CAP L Installation Extended CAP L Temperature Operation The passively cooled CAP L is rated for a maximum temperature of 40C (104F). This temperature range guarantees maximum service life under worst-case load conditions. If necessary, however, it can be operated safely at higher temperatures without exceeding the maximum temperatures of the internal electronic components. Various components in the CAP L have temperature sensors and will alarm once they get within about 5 degrees of their maximum allowed temperature. The CAP L will disable itself if any of the internal temperatures exceeds the maximum allowed temperature. The maximum ambient temperature of the CAP L is dependent on the mounting configuration, as the mounting configuration affects the ability of the CAP L to dissipate heat. The various mounting configurations and resulting temperature ranges of operation are detailed in Table 9. Table 9.

Mounting a CAP L with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit The CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (CommScope PN 7781091-xx) provides a connection solution for both power and optical signals to a CAP L. For Fiber CAP Ls, 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 L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit to terminate the power and fiber at the CAP L. Mount the Fiber CAP L The CAP L 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 L supports a combined/parallel circuit approach. That is, two LPS circuits can be combined in parallel and the CAP L 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. 1 Assembling and Wiring the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Prepare for CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit Installation Follow the steps in "Unpack and Inspect the CAP L and Optional Accessories on page 23. 2 Refer to "Determine the CAP L Installation Site on page 17 to determine the mounting location, which must be able to support the weight and dimensions of the CAP L. 3 Refer to "Mounting Orientation for Wall Mounts on page 29 to determine the mounting orientation of the CAP L.

This section describes the IONE 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 IONE system comprises the components listed below; see also Figure 1. Central Area Node (CAN)provides serverlevel control and primary signal distribution. WCS2 (2U) and WCS4 (4U) Subrack options are available. Transport Expansion Node (TEN)connects to a CAN using MultiMode or SingleMode fiber as a secondary distribution point. WCS2 (2U) and WCS4 (4U) Subrack options are available. Access Pointconnects 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. UAPXsimilar in function as the standard UAP, in addition to Commercial frequencies, the UAPX also supports Public Safety frequencies, including 700, 800 and 400 MHz. The UAPX connects the CAN/TEN to external antennas and supports an extensive frequency range. UAPN25 and UAPXN25similar in function as the UAP and UAPX, the UAPN25 and UAPXN25 feature a 25 MHz filter on one path (instead of the 80 MHz filter on a UAP or UAPX). 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, SingleMode Fiber (SMF), or MultiMode 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 AccessPoint WiFi IPCamera Cat6A MM/SMFiber Figure1.BasicIONESystem M0201AAB November2017CommScope,Inc. IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page3 CAPLOverview CAPL OVERVIEW 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, SingleMode Fiber (SMF), or MultiMode 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 IONE system. Figure2.CAPLinanIONESystem The CAP L operates within the following temperature ranges CAP L without a Fan Kit (passively cooled) Optical units: 33C to +40C (27.4F to 104F) Cat6A units: 0C to +40C (32F to 104F) CAP L with a Fan Kit, the maximum operating temperature increases to 55C (131F); 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

IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page8 M0201AAB November2017CommScope,Inc. CAPLOverview PoweringaCAPLandPowerLEDBehavior 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 PowerDown 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 PowerDown 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 externallypowered CAP L, remove the power cable for 10 seconds, and then reconnect it.

Steady blueCAP L is powered on and operational. Slow flashing blueCAP L is powered on and initializing. Rapid flashing blueCAP L Unit Identifier active via the FlashLEDfunction in the IONE GUI. Slow pulse blue (IONE 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 newlyinstalled 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 selfcalibration process which can take several minutes. Once this selfcalibration is complete, the unit will resume normal operation. (This is the most likely cause for units which have worked correctly in the past.) M0201AAB November2017CommScope,Inc. IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page9 CAPLOverview FanInterfacePort Fan Interfac eport CAPLAccessoryOptions The preceding graphic shows the proprietary 8pin Fan Interface port, which is only available on CAP L units that ship with the factoryinstalled 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. The following sections describe hardware options for the CAP L:

CAPLMountingBracketKit FlatMountingBracketKit M0201AAB November2017CommScope,Inc. IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page11 CAPLOverview AC/DCPowerSupplyKit CAPLHybridFiberSpliceBoxKit The CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (CommScope PN 7781091xx) 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. The AC/DC Power Supply Kit (CommScope PN 7775087xx) 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 Lthe 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. 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.

IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page14 M0201AAB November2017CommScope,Inc. InstallingCAPLs PrepareforInstallation CAPLInstallationRules Do the following before beginning installation. Review and know the cautions in "Safely Working with IONE 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. When installing a CAP L, you must observe the following rules, which are also documented in the installation procedures included in this installation guide. Connects via its RJ45 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 daisychain 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 selfpowered Secondary CAP L. See "Cascade Rules on page 16. 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. CAP L with Copper Interface CAP L with Fiber Interface M0201AAB November2017CommScope,Inc. IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page15 InstallingCAPLs CascadeRules 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 fiberoptic 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 RJ45 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 Leither 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.

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. Table5.MaximumCAPLInstallationWeights*

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. The following cabling rules must be observed for all installations of a CAP L with a Copper Interface. 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 IONE system requires a minimum SignaltoNoise 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/TIA568C.2, CENELEC EN 50173 series, and ISO/IEC 11801:2002 including its amendments 1 and 2, is suitable for use in an IONE 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 10GBaseT 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.

IONESeriesLowPowerCarrierAccessPointInstallationGuide Page39 InstallingCAPLs 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 RJ45 connections in a Cat6A cable run, as described below and as shown in Figure 15. Minimizing these connections improves the link margin. In a noncascade, 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.

Should you need to remove the CAP L from a wall or ceiling mount, do the following. 1 Press the CAP L Power pushbutton to place the CAP L into a lowpower sleep state, which allows you to safely unplug the CAP L without a power arc. 2 Make sure the blue Power LED is off. 3 Unplug the CAP L cables. If a ground wire is installed, loosen the grounding screw and remove the ground wire. 5 Reverse the installation steps that correspond to how this CAP L is mounted. The CAP L does not require extensive preventative maintenance measures. However, checking the cleanliness of a CAP L that has the Fan Kit option at regularlyscheduled intervals is recommended, particularly the enclosure vents, which helps maintain the longevity of the fans and heat sinks.

+18dBm

+21dBm

+20dBm 50Ohms The Manufacturer's rated output power for this equipment is the composite power in a band. 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 e quipement est la puissance composite dans une bande. Pour les situations ou plusieurs porteuses sont pre sentes, la puissance par porteuse est re duite. Par exemple, deux porteuses d'une bande auront chacun 3 dB de puissance infe rieure a celle d'une seule porteuse dans une bande. Ceci est important lorsque le signal de sortie est rayonne et peut causer des interfe rences aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes.

FCCRFExposureRequirements D[ cm ]

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:

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 /
