To strand mount the housing:
1. Lift the Outdoor Gateway so that the clamps are level with the strand, and slide the Outdoor Gateway back until the
strand engages the strand clamps.
2. Do not tighten the hex head bolts at this time. Keeping the bolts loose enables the clamps to slide along the strand
wire until the housing finally is positioned with respect to the cables.
3. Verify that the Outdoor Gateway is within 5 degrees of hanging vertically.
4. When the housing is in the required position, torque the two strand clamp bolts to between 4 and 6 ft-lbs (between
5.4 and 8.1 N•m).
Grounding the Housing
The aerial metal strand connections will serve as connection to ground.
Connecting the Plant Cable Assembly
The OG1600 includes an F-type connector which can be used to add the plant cable assembly. You will need to remove
the plastic cap covering this connector before you can connect to the plant cable assembly.
Important: The OG1600 is designed to be mounted near the cable plant tap in order to minimize the length of coaxial
cable needed to connect. Extended lengths of coaxial cable can reduce the DOCSIS receive sensitivity of the Outdoor
Gateway.
