CAP H Overview
CAP H OVERVIEW
This installation guide describes the High Power Carrier Access Point (CAP H), which interfaces with a Classic
CAN or TEN via an optical link. This allows the CAP H to provide data over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or
Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for a CAP H is provided over internal AC/DC (AC version) or DC (DC version).
On the downlink, the CAP H converts data arriving at the CAP H to analog signals and sends them to the
Antenna port. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams, which are sent
back to the Classic CAN or TEN.
Figure 1 on page 5 shows how a CAP H can be deployed in an ERA system.

The CAP H
• is actively cooled and operates within the range of:
– -33 °C to +50 °C
– -27 °F to +122 °F
• is rated for indoor and outdoor installations (IP66 and IP67)
• Typical power consumption (4 band Units, exemplary):
– 450 W (room temperature, idle)
– 990 W (maximum temperature, fully loaded).
