Indoor Radio Cabling Precautions
Note that prior to mounting the radio unit, you are advised to carefully calculate:
• The distance between the intended location of your unit and the location of the antenna mast
• The height of the antenna on the mast
If the low-loss antenna cable for the unit is not long enough to cover this distance, you either can select another cable
length from the Proxim’s low-loss cable offering, or select another location that satisfies the requirements previously
listed to mount your unit. The radio unit can be placed anywhere, as long as Ethernet cable length allows. Because the
length of the antenna cable can affect the actual range of your outdoor antenna installation, Proxim recommends
selecting another location or using a different radio model.
WARNING: You must not change the length of the low-loss antenna cable used with the radio unit to a length
shorter than allowed by the radio’s certifications. Shortening the cable voids the Proxim Wireless
Corporation warranty and can conflict with radio certifications or approvals.
CAUTION: The radio hardware, the surge arrestor, and the antenna mast must be connected to the same grounding
system.
