Mount the Fiber CAP L
Mounting a CAP L with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit
The CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit (CommScope PN 7781091-xx) provides a connection solution for both
power and optical signals to a CAP L. For Fiber CAP Ls, you have the option to use composite cable to transport
signals from a TEN or Classic CAN via fiber and power from a remote DC supply, and then use the CAP L
Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit to terminate the power and fiber at the CAP L.
The CAP L is designed to be supplied by two LPS (Limited Power Source, <100VA) circuits. By using LPS
circuits, some electrical code requirements for installing the power cables are relaxed. The CAP L supports
a combined/parallel circuit approach. That is, two LPS circuits can be combined in parallel and the CAP L
supplied by a single, higher power source. In either configuration, all electrical and safety code
requirements must be followed.
It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to observe the local regulations of the DC service provider
and to comply with Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements where applicable.
Prepare for CAP L Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit Installation
1 Follow the steps in "Unpack and Inspect the CAP L and Optional Accessories” on page 23.
2 Refer to "Determine the CAP L Installation Site” on page 17 to determine the mounting location, which
