the unit/router to the wall or concrete by using the concrete or wood mounting screws.
Make sure it is secured.
Step 4. Running and Securing All Cable
The installation kit includes two cables with ready-made connectors to fit your particular installation
needs such as:
• 3’ RF cable
• 10' antenna cable (attaches to antenna one end and to lightning arrestor other end)
• Lightning arrestor (attaches to pigtail and to antenna cable)
a) Attach the 3’ RF cable to the RF port on the SPEEDLAN 9102.
b) Attach the 10' length of cable to the antenna. Next, attach the lightning arrestor to the lower
end of the antenna cable.
c) Attach the other end of lightning arrestor to 3’ RF cable.
d) Run the main length of the specialized Ethernet cable from the router to the indoor junction
box located inside the building.
e) Secure the cable with zip ties or cable clamps during this procedure.
Note: When running the cable through walls or obstructions, make sure that there is ample room
for the connector to pass through without being damaged. Also, do not create extra pressure that
would cause the cable to kink or be stretched or cut (i.e., pulling cable through tight locations).
f) Create a proper weatherproofing seal on all outdoor connections by wrapping it with
electrical tape and sealing it with putty. This is the most crucial step of the installation. If this
procedure is not completed, long-term and complex problems could occur. For more infor-
mation on implementing this procedure, see Weatherproofing Connectors, page 2-15.
g) Next, ground the lightning arrestor. For more information, see Grounding the Lightning
Arrestor, page 2-15.
