CAT5e or CAT6 Lightning/Surge Protection
To provide for human safety and for the safety of connected network equipment, it is highly
recommended to place a weatherproof lightning suppression device at the egress point where the
CAT5e or CAT6 cable(s) enter the building, shelter, or cabinet.
To protect the radio equipment, install a weatherproof lightning suppression device near the radio for
all connected CAT5e or CAT6 cables. Surge protection for the radio protection is highly
recommended in areas with any opportunity of lightning. Connect the surge protection using a CAT5e
or CAT6 cable no longer than 6'/1m. Ensure that the surge protection device is properly grounded.
For the Power/Ethernet cable, specific voltage requirements must be met. The following devices are
the only devices currently recommended:
• Polyphaser IXG-05
• Transtector ALPU 1101-959
• Transtector ALPU-1000BT-R
• Citel C2MJ8-POE-A/SE
• Transtector 1101-1030
• Transtector 1101-1080
Use the previously mentioned short CAT5e or CAT6 cable for the connection between the radio and
the first arrestor. Use bulk outdoor-rated CAT5e or CAT6 cable for the longer run between arrestors,
and indoor- or outdoor-rated cable with a standard RJ45 termination for the connection from the egress
arrestor and power injector. The cabling between the radio, through all arrestors, and to the power
injector must follow a straight-wired convention, maintaining standard Ethernet pairing.
Diplexer (Channel Plan) Configuration
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz radio has a unique feature that allows field reconfiguration of the TX-H or
TX-V Tx/Rx orientation. This allows a single spare unit for both TX-H and TX-V configurations.
The transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) tuning is determined by the ID number on the diplexer:
• ID #871 indicates that the Tx diplexer is in the horizontal orientation (customer part number
E24F732-H).
• ID #872 indicates that the Tx diplexer is in the vertical orientation (customer part number
E24F732-V).
Note: Surge protection is not guaranteed to protect the radio equipment for high surges or
direct lightning strikes.
Note: Use only outdoor-rated UV-resistant CAT5e or CAT6 cable. The cable that directly
connects to the radio must have an outer diameter between 0.25"/6.35 mm and 0.31"/7.87mm.
Belden 1300A is recommended. Securely hand-tighten all connectors on the ODU to ensure a
weatherproof seal.
CAUTION! Removal of the diplexer cover requires special care. The instructions in this
section must be followed precisely to maintain performance and weatherproof operation.
The Exalt Limited Hardware Warranty Software License and RMA Procedures Agreement
may be void if damage to the radio occurs as a result of improper installation.
