3.7 GX Connections
IMPORTANT! CABLE DRIP LOOPS RECOMMENDED.
It is highly recommended that every horizontal cable entry to
the equipment forms a 'U' before its entry to the equipment.
Water on the cable will drip down at the bottom of the loop
and will not accumulate at the equipment connectors.
3.7.1 Grounding Connections
WARNING! This unit must always be grounded. Consult an
appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if
you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
DO NOT
CONNECT POWER BEFORE GROUNDING!
Note: An internationally acceptable color code of the ground
connection wire is green/yellow.
To ground the GX unit
1. Connect the supplied copper wire (AWG #6) GND cable to
the GND connector and the equipment rack or building
earth.
2. Ground the GX unit by connecting the provided “earth
wire” of the power cord to the ground terminal of the AC
supply.

3.7.2 Fiber Connections
IMPORTANT! OptiTap® pull-out force ranges from a few lbs to
50+ lbs with the dust cap or connector installed. This prevents
damages caused to the DAS unit.
Connect the GX OP OptiTap port to one of the OCH front panel
“Link” ports (via F/O patch panel), using an OptiTap cable
assembly (ordered separately). MIMO units require two fiber
connections, where each one must be connected to a different
optical module.
