4.3-10 RF connector

RF connectors that connect to two separate external antennas or to two ports on a

cross-polarized dual antenna via 50Ω coaxial cable. Each connector supports two RF

bands as described in Table 7-2 on page 77. The end of the 50Ω coaxial cable that

connects to an ANT connector can be either a push-pull or a threaded connector. If not

used, an ANT connector must be plugged.

Proprietary 4-pin connector that connects to a local or remote DC power supply, or to a

Hybrid Fiber Junction Box.

8 2 Optical Port 2 Optical Port 2 connects to an optional cascaded CAP L unit and provides the main signal

interface. Optical transport occurs over Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber

(MMF). This port must be plugged if not in use.

9 1 Optical Port 1 Optical Port 1 connects to an ION-E CAN/TEN (possibly through a local Hybrid Fiber

Junction Box) and provides the main signal interface. Optical transport occurs over Single

Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber (MMF); the appropriate SFP+ is factory-installed

according to order specifications.

10 A Auxiliary port The AUX port provides a connection for external Ethernet devices such as WiFi and IP

cameras. Cabling is via the appropriate CAT cable for the protocol; this model supports an

1000 BASE-T and 802.3at Class 3 Power over Cat6A Ethernet connection. Maximum

attached cable length is 3 meters (9.8 feet). The AUX port must be plugged if not in use.
