Cabling Requirements
Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling must be installed at the site before you install an
MP. A single connection requires one cable. A dual-homed connection requires two cables.
Mounting an MP on a solid surface requires Cat 5 cable that does not have strain relief. For
installation on all other surfaces, use a Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief.

The MP is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors, unless you
install it with a Trapeze Networks outdoor MP enclosure.

connector pins before inserting a cable into an MP.
