Installing CAP MXs
Obtain the Required Cable Material
Contact your local CommScope sales representative to obtain the following components, as required, for this
installation.
• Per the installation plan, obtain either Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber (MMF) that is of
sufficient length to reach from the CAP MX to the Classic CAN or TEN.
• Obtain at least one Optical OCTIS Kit (PN 7770612). All installations require one Optical OCTIS Kit, which
is included in the CAP MX shipment. If cascading a Secondary CAP MX, a second Optical OCTIS Kit is
required.
• Obtain SFP+ Module pairs that are appropriate for this installation. Table 11 identifies the available SFP+
Modules and the maximum range for each.
• If connecting an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or IP camera, an Ethernet OCTIS Kit (PN 7760652)
and appropriate CAT cable for the device.
