6 Installing the Interconnect Cables
For each interconnect cable, you will need to perform the following steps.
6.1 A Note On Cabling
Attention! Most of the cabling used in the AB-MAX System is CAT5. You will need to be
aware of the following limits on CAT5 cable lengths:
1. The interconnect cable from the indoor wallbox to an outdoor transceiver must be less
than 100 meters. This is due to DC resistance loss over the distance of the cable run.
2. The combined length of Ethernet interconnect cable (from the radio to the switch) must
be less than 100 meters.
6.2 Route the Cables
Now that you have installed the outdoor Customer Premise Equipment and indoor wallbox, you
are ready to route the interconnect cable.
1) Select where the cable will enter the building from the outside (Figure 6-1).
