4.2 Network Cable Installation
The RU provides a network port allowing communications with the internal processor and
transfer of service data to the optical protocol allowing IP servicing between the host and
remote(s). This port is customer accessible for monitoring the interface with the connected host
and ENET connected devices at the remote. The Network port is 10/100/1000 BASE-T/TX
(802.3ab compliant) MDI and requires a minimum of CAT 5 cable.
The network cable must be terminated with a hardened RJ-45 male connector for connection to
the Network port. The maximum cable length is 300 feet (91.4 m).
Use the following procedure to install the Network cable:
1. Remove the dust cap from the RJ-45 connector located at the bottom of the RU as shown
in Figure 5.

2. Route the network cable from the network connection to the underside of the RU.
3. Align the plug end of the RJ-45 cable connector with the RJ-45 port receptacle and then
insert the cable plug into the port receptacle.
