4.2 Ethernet Cabling from Horizon to Ethernet Switch
For the copper interface, data cabling from the Horizon unit to the Ethernet switch consists of outdoor
rated, shielded, Cat5E cables equivalent to Belden 7919A. The shielded cables require shielded RJ-45
connectors. Use of standard indoor unshielded RJ-45 connectors may result in poorly constructed
cables, intermittent connections and data loss.
If Port 2 is not being used, ensure that a protective weatherproof cap is fitted to the port receptacle.
The cables terminate in a Horizon Power on Ethernet (PonE) unit located outside of the building entry
point.
Note: Straight through Ethernet cables must be used between the PonE adapter and the Horizon.
The use of a cross-over type will result in damage to the Horizon Compact unit.
The PonE unit contains surge arrestors and must be grounded according to local or regional Electrical
Codes. Ethernet cables are connected between the PonE unit and the Ethernet switch or router.
Power for the PonE unit is supplied by 2-wire 16 AWG electrical wiring, carrying 48 vDC (-48 v or +48v)
with a maximum current draw of 2 amperes.
