Connecting antennas
Lifting hooks (eye bolts) There are four lifting hooks (eye bolts) that you screw into 1/2 inch diameter
holes in the four corners of the top of the cabinet during installation. After
the cabinet has been removed from its shipping palette, the only way to lift it
is with these lifting hooks.
Rox System cabinet seal (installed) The Rox System Cabinet seal threads antenna cables into the IP-RN 8000
chassis and seals off external environmental conditions. The Rox System
cabinet seal is installed during IP-RN 8000 installation.

Surge suppression bar (access panel
removed)
External antenna cables are attached to the connectors on the surge
suppression bar. This grounded bar and its surge suppressor connectors
constitute a secondary surge protection system that provides additional
protection from power surges and lightening strikes. A primary external
surge protection equipment is required.

Rear ground connectors Connect to site grounding infrastructure for additional grounding protection
as needed.

Antenna access panel One of four possible access panels into which the Rox System cabinet seal
can be installed. The Rox System Cabinet seal threads antenna cables into
the IP-RN 8000 chassis and seals off external environmental conditions. You
can perform the installation using an access panel at the bottom of either
side, at the bottom of the back, or at the top of the back. The standard
installation uses the top-back antenna access panel.

RF and GPS antenna cables (inside
cabinet)
The number of RF (transmit and receive) and GPS antenna cables depends
on the particular installation. This part of the figure shows the cables routing
down from the Rox System cabinet seal and connecting to the surge
protection bar.

RF and GPS antenna cables (exiting
cabinet)
The number of RF (transmit and receive) and GPS antenna cables depends
on the particular installation. This part of the figure shows the antenna cables
exiting the cabinet through the Rox System cabinet seal, on their way to
connection with antenna cables on the cell tower.
