CAP L Weights
Use the weights listed in Table 8 to determine a site that can bear the weight of the Fiber CAP L that is being
installed, where:
• The “Maximum Lift Weight” is the highest weight that must be lif
ted during installation. (An installer only
needs to lift CAP L components at one time, not the wholly configured CAP L.)
• The “Total Hanging Weight” is the weight of the CAP L
, including the weight of the Mounting Bracket and
Power Supply, minus the weight of the external cables and connectors, that the mounting site must be
able to support.
