Installing a CAP H
Table 13. CAP H variants for MAINS AC cable type (Continued)
Do the following to connect the MAINS power to the CAP H.
1 Follow the steps in "Ground the CAP H" on page 37.
2 Locate the MAINS power cable that was delivered with the CAP H (shown in Figure 11 on page 47).
3 Locate or install a suitable power junction box or receptacle near the CAP H, and then route the power
cable from the power source to the CAP H.
4 Secure the MAINS cable per local regulations and electrical codes. Allow enough slack in the cable at the
CAP H to plug or unplug the cable into the CAP H MAINS connector.
5 Wire the power cable to the junction box or receptacle. Refer to the color code and pin numbers shown in
Figure 11 on page 47.
6 With the cable's MAINS plug disconnected from the CAP H, turn the circuit breaker on, unscrew the plug's
protective cover, and carefully test the plug with a voltmeter to ensure that the voltage and polarity are
correct.
7 Once the testing has been completed, turn off the circuit breaker.

For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required. Each wire must
observe the applicable national regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of
installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the CAP H.
CAP H APs require a minimum 120 Volt / 15 Amp or 240 Volt / 13 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz
AC service. MAINS power must be interruptible with an external delay-actions mains breaker.
CommScope recommends external AC breakers capable of at least 15 Amps max. for 120-Volt
service or at least 13 Amps for 240-Volt service.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on. Turn off mains
power before connecting the power cord at the CAP H, then engage mains again.
Do not connect the cable to the CAP H MAINS connector at this time. The power source must be
interruptible.
