Fiber CAP L Overview
FIBER CAP L OVERVIEW
There is one Optical Fiber and two Copper CAP L interface variants. This installation guide describes the Fiber
CAP L, which interfaces with a Classic CAN or TEN via an optical link. This allows the Fiber CAP L to provide
data over Single-Mode Fiber
(SMF) or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for Fiber CAP Ls is provided over
External AC/DC or remotely thr
ough hybrid fiber.
On the downlink, the Fiber CAP L converts data arriving at the CAP L to analog signals and sends them to the
An
tenna
ports. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams, which are sent
back to the Classic CAN or TEN. Figure 1 shows how a Fiber CAP L can be deployed in an Era system.

The Fiber CAP L
• has the following temperature ranges
– without a Fan Kit, it is passively cool
ed with a temperature range of: -33°C to +40°C (-27.4°F to
104°F); see also "Extended CAP L Temperature Operation” on page 22.
– with a Fan Kit, the Fiber CAP L
has an increased maximum operating temperature of 55°C (131°F);
see also "Fan Kit” on page 7.
• is o
utdoor rated (IP67)
• has a typical power consumption that dependent on the model ranges from
92 to 103W; see "Required
Antenna Distances” on page 16.
