Installing CAP Ms
• If the 50 coaxial cable has a threaded connector, torque the connector 5 N-m (3.69 ft-lb). Do not
over-tighten the connector.
5 Connect the other end of the 50
coaxial cable to the passive antenna installed in Step 2.
6 For a MIMO installation, repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to connect an antenna cable to ANT2.
Connect the CAP M to a Classic CAN or TEN
Connect the CAP M Optical Port 1 as appropriate for this installation. Note the maximum range listed in
Table 12.
1 Remove the dust cap from the CAP M Optical Port 1 connector and the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
2 Follow the local cleaning technique to clean the optical port for each SFP+ Module.
3 Clean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
4 Install the SFP+ connector and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the SMF or MMF that will connect to the
CAP M, and then connect that end of the fiber to the CAP M Optical Port 1 connector. (Refer to the
technical data sheet that ships with the OCTIS Kit for further information.)
5 Use the other SFP+ Module to connect the other end of the SMF or MMF to an open port on the OPT Card.
Connect a Secondary CAP M (Optional)
If appropriate for this installation, connect the Optical Port 2 connector. Note the maximum range listed in
Table 12 on page 57.
1 Raise the lever on the EMI/IP67 cap on Optical Port 2 connector and remove the cap.
2 Remove the caps from the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
3 Follow the local cleaning technique to clean the optical port for each SFP+ Module.
4 Clean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
5 Install the SFP+ and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the fiber that will connect to the CAP M and connect
that end of the SMF or MMF to the CAP M Optical Port 2 connector. (Refer to the technical data sheet that
ships with the OCTIS Kit for further information.)
6 Use another OCTIS Kit and the other SFP+ Module to connect the other end of the SMF or MMF to Optical
Port 1 on the cascaded CAP M.
Connect an External Ethernet Device (Optional)
If connecting an Ethernet device to a cascaded pair, this must be the Primary Fiber CAP M.
1 Read and follow the rules in "Cat6A Cable Requirements for Ethernet Devices” on page 22.
2 Raise the lever on the EMI/IP67 cap on the Port A connector, and then remove the connector’s plug.
If installing a CAP M with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (PN 7693816-xx), the optical fiber will be hanging from
the Splice Box.
If you are not connecting an Ethernet device, do not remove the plug from Port A.
