Ethernet standards and cable lengths
All configurations require a copper Ethernet connection from the power supply port to the power
supply and network terminating equipment.
For each power supply, the maximum permitted drop cable length is specified in Table 32.
Table 32 Power supply drop cable length restrictions
Maximum cable length (*1)
Power Supply for Radio with
Gigabit Ethernet (no cord)
(*1) Maximum length of Ethernet cable from device to network device needs to follow 802.3 standards.
If the power supply is not the network device the cable from the power supply to the network device
must be included in the total maximum cable length.

Cambium Industrial Cable
Cambium Industrial Cable uses 24-gauge solid bare copper conductors, covered by bonded-pair
polymer insulation. The conductors are protected by double layer shielding consisting of a solid foil
layer under braded tinned copper mesh, providing excellent shielding while maximizing flexibility. And,
the cable is jacketed by industrial grade UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and oil-resistant PVC.
RJ45 connectors are specifically designed to work optimally with Cambium
Industrial Cable.
The connectors are fully shielded with integrated strain relief for greater pull strength, utilize a
staggered contact design that minimizes crosstalk and maximizes electrical performance, and the
contacts are plated with 50 micro-inch thick 24 carat gold, exceeding TIA-1096 specifications and
ensuring the best possible connection and oxidation resistance.
igh-quality durable installations of
subscriber modules, access points and enterprise point-to-point links as well as in tactical non-
permanent deployments of infrastructure.
