Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable
For copper Cat5e Ethernet connections from the ODU to the PSU, LPUs and other devices, use
Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel, for example Superior Essex
type BBDGe. This is known as “drop cable” (Figure 15).
Caution
Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel.
Alternative types of drop cable are not supported by Cambium Networks.
Order Superior Essex type BBDGe cable from Cambium Networks (Table 20). Other lengths of this
cable are available from Superior Essex.
