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 125.
Table 125 Power supply drop cable length restrictions
(*1) The maximum length of Ethernet cable from the device to the 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
the braided 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.
Cambium’s Industrial 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.
Cambium Networks’ industrial-grade cable is well suited for high-quality durable installations of
subscriber modules, APs, and enterprise point-to-point links as well as in tactical non-permanent
deployments of infrastructure.
