Physical Installation
Become Familiar with the Installation Components
Take note of the components that must be installed indoors and outdoors. The PoE injector
and power adapter that are shipped with the Wireless Bridge are for indoor use only.
Ruckus Wireless also strongly recommends that you form a drip loop on any cable that is
connected to devices that are installed outdoors (for example, the Wireless Bridge and
the Ethernet surge protector).

WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace,
or service this equipment.
WARNING: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical
codes.
CAUTION: Make sure that you form a 3”-5” drip loop in any cable that will be placed
outdoors. This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering the Wireless
Bridge, the surge protector or the building where the cable terminates.
CAUTION: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national
electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning
arrestors.
