Installing CAP Ms
Connect the CAP M to an RF Antenna
1 Obtain50ΩcoaxialcablesthatareofsufficientlengthtoreachfromtheCAPMtothepassiveantenna.The
endofthe50
ΩcoaxialcablethatwillconnecttotheANTconnectorcanbeeitherapush-pullconnector
orathreadedconnector.
2 Installthepassiveantennasperthemanufacturer’sinstallationinstructions.
3 RemovetheIP67/EMIblankplugfromtheANTconnector.
4 Connectthepassivemulti-bandantennatotheANTconnectorusingcoaxialcablewiththeleastamount
oflosspossible.
• Ifthe50Ωcoaxialcablehasapush-pullconnector,makesurethecableisseatedfirmlyintheANT
connector.
• Ifthe50Ωcoaxialcablehasathreadedconnector,torquetheconnector5N-m(3.69ft-lb).Donot
over-tightentheconnector.
5 Connecttheotherendofthe50ΩcoaxialcabletothepassiveantennainstalledinStep2.
Connect the CAP M to a Classic CAN or TEN
ConnecttheCAPMOpticalPort1asappropriateforthisinstallation.Notethemaximumrangelistedin
Table10.
1 RemovethedustcapfromtheCAPMOpticalPort1connectorandtheconnectorsontheSMForMMF.
2 FollowthelocalcleaningtechniquetocleantheopticalportforeachSFP+Module.
3 CleantheconnectorsontheSMForMMFfollowingthefibersupplier’srecommendations.
4 InstalltheSFP+connectorandOpticalOCTISKitontheendoftheSMForMMFthatwillconnecttothe
CAP
M,andthenconnectthatendofthefibertotheCAPMOpticalPort1connector.(Refertothe
technicaldatasheetthatshipswiththeOCTISKitforfurtherinformation.)
5 UsetheotherSFP+ModuletoconnecttheotherendoftheSMForMMFtoanopenportontheOPTCard.
Connect a Secondary CAP M (Optional)
Ifappropriateforthisinstallation,connecttheOpticalPort2connector.Notethemaximumrangelistedin
Table10onpage47.
1 RaisetheleverontheEMI/IP67caponOpticalPort2connectorandremovethecap.
2 RemovethecapsfromtheconnectorsontheSMForMMF.
3 FollowthelocalcleaningtechniquetocleantheopticalportforeachSFP+Module.
4 CleantheconnectorsontheSMForMMFfollowingthefibersupplier’srecommendations.
5 InstalltheSFP+andOpticalOCTISKitontheendofthefiberthatwillconnecttotheCAPMandconnect
thatendoftheSMForMMFtotheCAP
MOpticalPort2connector.(Refertothetechnicaldatasheetthat
shipswiththeOCTISKitforfurtherinformation.)
6 UseanotherOCTISKitandtheotherSFP+ModuletoconnecttheotherendoftheSMForMMFtoOptical
Port1onthecascadedCAP
M.
If installing a CAP M with a Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (PN 7693816-xx), the optical fiber will be hanging from
the Splice Box.
