6 Network Cabling
ProST interfaces with the subscriber's network through the IDU (i.e. typically the SDA-1 Type II, or
optionally through the SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC). The ProST also
receives DC power from the IDU.
This section describes the ProST network cabling:

6.1 Connecting to IDU
The ProST typically interfaces with the subscriber's network using the indoor SDA-1 Type II
adapter. However, optional IDU adapters (SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC)
are offered that provide multiple LAN ports for interfacing with the subscriber's network.
Note: Use CAT-5e unshielded cable only.
6.1.1 Connecting the SDA-1 Type II
The ProST connects to the SDA-1 using a CAT 5Ee cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on either
end. The ProST provides a 15-pin D-type port for interfacing with the SDA-1. However, for
allowing the use of RJ-45 connectors, your ProST kit includes a DB15-to-RJ45 adapter that can
easily be attached to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port.
The cable setup for ProST-to-SDA-1 connectivity is as follows:
¾ Cable: Straight-through CAT 5Ee Ethernet cable
¾ Connectors:
ProST: DB15-to-RJ45 adapter
CAT 5Ee cable with 8-pin RJ-45 male connectors on either end
¾ Connector pinouts:

Note: The SDA-1 Type II is protected in the event power is inadvertently
inserted to the radio port so as not to damage the Ethernet card.
