Cables and connectors
Outdoor connections
The term ‘drop cable’ refers to the cable that is used for all connections that terminate
outside the building, that is for connections between the ODU, LPUs (if installed), GPS
receiver (if installed) and the ODU port of the PIDU Plus.
Supported Superior Essex cable
The only type of outdoor drop cable supported by Motorola is Superior Essex CAT5e,
which is UV resistant and has a screened shield. The available lengths and part
numbers are specified in Table 1-2.
CAUTION
Alternative types of drop cable are not supported by Motorola, as they may
increase the risk of lightning damage to the installation. See Lightning
prot
ection on page 2-18.
