Chapter 13 Installing External Non-Cisco Modules
External Non-Cisco Module Support
External Non-Cisco Module Requirements
Non-Cisco modules installed on the router exterior must meet the following requirements:
• Compliance with Type 4X and IP67 standards.
• Support the router mounting boss dimensions (See Figure 13-2, Dimensions for Mounting External
Non-Cisco Modules).
Cable Requirements
Cables used for installing an external, non-Cisco module should meet the following criteria:
• Outdoor-rated
• UV-stabilized
• Diameter of 0.20-0.35 inches (5.08-8.89 mm)
Caution Cables must be a minimum of 0.20 in. in diameter to create an adequate seal within the cable
glands. Using smaller cables could result in an inadequate seal and expose the router interior
to environmental elements.
• Power cable—The cable that you provide to connect the module to the router 12V power connector
must be wired so that Pin 3 (cable presence) and Pin 4 (ground) are connected to each other. If they
are not connected, the module will not detect power from the router. Refer to the “Non-Cisco
Module Power Connector” section on page B-4.
Online Installation and Removal
An external non-Cisco module can be installed or removed while the router is installed (usually on a pole
top) and operating normally.
The module must be powered off until it is connected to a power source as part of the installation process
described in this chapter. Power sources can include:
• Router Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet port (see the “Router Hardware Description” chapter for
more information)
• Router 12V power connector, illustrated and described in Figure 13-4
• External-to-the-router power source
Power
The router interior features a 4-pin, Micro-Fit 3.0 connector, which provides 12 volts of power to an
externally-connected module. See Figure 13-4 for an illustration of the power connector.
