2.3.2 Interconnecting cable
The interconnecting cable is used to connect the Access Point to the NIA. The cable must be
straight-through CAT-5, electrically shielded, and outdoor rated. The cable carries Ethernet data as
well as DC power from the NIA to the Access Point. Customer equipment requiring Ethernet
connectivity may be located up to 100 meters from the outdoor Access Point. The cable must have
shielded field-installable connectors on both the Access Point and NIA ends. Wiring distances are
illustrated in Figure 2-6:.
The Access Point supports MDIX, therefore either a str
aight cable or a cross-over cable can be
used to connect the NIA and any customer equipment.
