Indoor connections
The CAT5e cable that connects the PoE power supply to the network equipment must meet
the following requirements:
• Screening: Must be either foil screen (FTP) or braided screen (STP) cable.
• Connectors: Must use screened RJ45 connectors with metal shells at both ends.
• Electrical connection: There must be a continuous electrical connection between
both screened connectors.
The connected network equipment must feature screened RJ45 connectors and must be
connected to ground, otherwise the PoE power supply will not be grounded, and this may
increase the levels of unwanted radiation from the ODU - PoE power supply cables.
Cable grounding kits
Drop cables must be grounded at the points specified in Grounding and lightning
protection on page 2-15. One
cable grounding kit (Figure 1-8) is required for each drop
cable grounding point.
