1-4.6 Cables
To ensure longevity in a outdoor environment, interWAVE sells various cables designed for use with the
Link CX. interWAVE offers the following weather-resistant cables:
• DS-3 and Ethernet data cables and the power cables are offered in 25 m (82 ft.), 50 m
(164 ft.), and 100 m (328 ft.) lengths.
• A 6 m (19.7 ft.) Ethernet cable is available to route the Ethernet signal between two Link CXs
in the same location, or when you are configuring the Link CX from a Craft PC.
• For models to be used with external antennas, a 2 m (6.6 ft.) N-to-N RF cable is available to
connect the external antenna to the Link CX.
• A 6 m (19.7 ft.) RS-232 4-pin Circular-to-DB9 Craft cable is available to connect a Craft PC
to a Link CX for future CLI applications.
• When the Link CX is to be used with a StreamNet ATM Switch for a mesh backhaul network,
a 6 m (19.7 ft.) dual TNC-to-TNC cable is available to connect each StreamNet ATM Switch
to a Link CX.
All of the cables described above include weather-resistant connectors
and moisture-excluding gel inside the cable sheaths. For this reason,
interWAVE recommends that customers and installers not attempt to
shorten or splice the factory-supplied cables.
