CAP H Overview
The “REF #” column in Table 2 refers to the callouts in Figure 2 on page 6 and Figure 5 on page 11.

REF # Label Description Function
1 A RJ45 Auxiliary port
(Not supported by current software,
but will be
supported in a future
software version.)
Connects to external Ethernet devices such as WiFi and IP cameras. Cabling is via the
appropriate CAT cable for the protocol; this model supports a 1000 BASE-T and 802.3at
Class 4 Power over Cat6A Ethernet connection. Maximum attached cable length is 3
meters (9.8 feet), per 802.3ATclass4 standards. The Auxiliary port ships with
factory-installed EMI/weatherproof plug, and must remain plugged if not in use;

2 1 Optical Port 1 Can be one of the following:
• Connects to a Primary CAP H to a Classic CAN or TEN to provide the
main signal
interface. Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode
Fiber (MMF). Requires Optical OCTIS Kit (PN 7770612); Optical Port 1 ships with a
dust cap that can be discarded upon unit installation.
• Connects a Secondary CAP H to Optical Port 2 of the Primary CAP H.
3 2 Optical Port 2 Connects to an optional cascaded secondary CAP H via an Optical OCTIS Kit (PN
777061
2). Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber
(MMF). Optical Port 2 ships with factory-installed EMI/weatherproof plug, and must
remain plugged if not in use. For information on cascading APs, see "CAP H Installation
and Cascade Rules" on page 20.
4 STATUS Status LED Provides a visual indication of the status of the CAP H; see "Using the Status LED to
Determine State of the CAP H" on page 47.
5 LOCAL Micro USB network port Provides a local connection to a laptop. This port is not required for normal operation
of
the unit, and should only be used when requested by CommScope Technical
Support.
6
• AC version—One M8 bolt, hex nut,
and washers
• DC version—Two M6 bolt, hex nut,
and washers
Provides earth ground for the CAP H chassis.
7 MAINS Power connector • AC version—Provides the power to CAP H models that use standard AC (100 to 240
Vac) power
.
• DC version—Provides the power to CAP H models that use DC (-60 to -48 Vdc)
power.
8 ANT2
4.3-10 RF connector
Connect to two separate external antennas or to two ports on a cross-polarized dual
an
tenna via 50 coaxial cable. Each connector supports two RF bands; see "Connect
the Antenna Cable" on page 34. These RF ports can be connected directly to an
antenna (using RF jumper cables) or through spli
tters, allowing additional antennas to
be fed by the CAP H.
