Chapter 1      Overview
Key Features
Note Some international regulatory regions may restrict the use of some external antennas.
Ethernet Ports
The bridge’s power injector dual-coax ports accept a pair of 75-ohm F-type connectors, linking the 
bridge to your 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the power injector. The dual-coax cables are used to 
send and receive Ethernet data and to supply inline 48-VDC power from the power injector. For the 
location of the ports, refer to Figure 1-3.
Tip You can connect the dual-coax cable connectors to either of the bridge’s power injector dual-coax ports. 
The bridge senses the Ethernet signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable 
connections.
Enclosure
The bridge uses an enclosure that supports indoor or outdoor operating environments. (refer to “Bridge 
Specifications” section on page C-1).
Bridge Connectors
The connectors (see Figure 1-2) provided depends upon the bridge configuration:
• Integrated antenna bridge configuration 
–
Dual-coax Ethernet connectors—used to provide Ethernet signals and in-line power
• External antenna bridge configuration
–
Dual-coax Ethernet connectors—used to provide Ethernet signals and in-line power 
–
Dual antenna connectors—used to support a single antenna or dual-diversity antennas
