13 PTP 500 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model
180
13.7 Installation
The section covers the generic installation instructions for the Connectorized versions of the
PTP 500 Series point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges. The actual installation procedure will
depend on antenna choice, cable choice, required antenna separation etc.
13.7.1 Antenna Choice
Section 13.6.3 “Antennas for USA / Canada – 5.8 GHz” and Section 13.6.4 “Suggested
Antennas - 5.4 GHz” show a wide variety of antennas that can be used with the
Connectorized PTP 500 Series bridge. The main selection criteria will be the required
antenna gain. The secondary criteria should be the ease of mounting and alignment. For
example the Radio Waves Parabolic dishes are supplied with a mount that allows adjustment
for alignment independent of the actual antenna mounting. This type of antenna is much
easier to align than those that have to be rotated around the mounting pole for alignment.
13.7.2 Cables and Connectors
Cables should be selected using the above criteria. However it should be noted that a cable
of a type similar to LMR400 is a lot more difficult to handle and route than a cable of a type
similar to LMR100.
Motorola recommends the use of weatherproof connectors -- preferably, ones that come
supplied with adhesive lined heat shrink sleeve that is fitted over the cable/connector
interface.
The connectors required at the Connectorized 500 Series bridge end of the antenna cables
are N-Type Male.
The connectors required at the antenna end of the antenna cables are dependant on the
antenna type chosen.
13.7.3 Tools
The tools required for mounting a Connectorized 500 Series bridge unit are the same as
those required for an Integrated 500 Series bridge detailed in Section 7.3 “Tools Required”.
The tools required for mounting the antennas are specific to the antenna chosen. The installer
should refer to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
