Mounting a CAP M2 with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (optional)
The CAP M2 Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (CommScope PN 7781091-xx) provides a connection solution for
both power and optical signals to a CAP M2. For Fiber CAP M 2s, you have the option to use composite cable
to transport signals from a TEN or Classic CAN via fiber and power from a remote DC supply, and then use the
CAP M2 Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit to terminate the power and fiber at the CAP M2.
The CAP M2 is designed to be supplied by two LPS (Limited Power Source, <100VA) circuits. By using LPS
circuits, some electrical code requirements for installing the power cables are relaxed. The CAP M2
supports a combined/parallel circuit approach. That is, two LPS circuits can be combined in parallel and
the CAP M2 supplied by a single, higher power source. In either configuration, all electrical and safety
code requirements must be followed.
It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to observe the local regulations of the DC service provider
and to comply with Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements where applicable.
