Installing CAP Ms
Unpack and Inspect the CAP M and Optional Accessories
1 Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged
the components in the container.
2 Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip.
3 If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope
Technical Support (see "CMS Global Technical Support” on page 80). Save the damaged cartons for
inspection by the carrier.
4 Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date.
Wire an Optional Hybrid Fiber Splice Box
1 Obtain the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (CommScope PN 7693816-xx).
2 Follow the steps in "Unpack and Inspect the CAP M and Optional Accessories” on page 29.
The steps in this section pertain only to those installations that require the use of the optional Hybrid
Fiber Splice Box to provide fiber and power to the CAP M. If the optional Hybrid Fiber Splice Box is not
required for this installation, skip to "Mount the CAP M” on page 33.
3 Open the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box and remove the installation kit that is
inside.
4 Using the parts from the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box, insert the Splice Holder
and fasten it using a PTK 30x6 screw and one M4 washer.
