Installing CAP Ms
Connect an External Ethernet Device (Optional)
IfconnectinganEthernetdevicetoacascadedpair,thismustbethePrimaryFiberCAPL.
1 Readandfollowtherulesin"Cat6ACableRequirementsforEthernetDevices”onpage15.
2 RaisetheleverontheEMI/IP67caponthePortAconnector,andthenremovetheconnector’splug.
3 FollowthelocalcleaningtechniquetocleanPortA.
4 InstallanEthernetOCTISKitontheendoftheCATcablethatwillconnecttotheFiberCAPL,andthen
connectthatendofthecabletoPortAontheFiberCAP
L.(Refertothetechnicaldatasheetthatships
withtheOCTISKitforfurtherinformation.)
5 ConnecttheotherendoftheCATcabletotheEthernetportoftheauxiliarydevice.
6 Goto"PowertheCAPM”onpage49.
Power the CAP M
FortheCAPMtooperate,theMainspowermustbeconnectedtotheCAPMMainsconnector.EitheranACor
aDCpowercableisdeliveredwitheachCAP
M—thetypeofpowercabledeliveredisdependentonthetype
ofpowersupplyintheCAP
M.
If you are not connecting an Ethernet device, do not remove the plug from Port A.
Cat6A, including all Cat6A cables, Cat6A Patch Cords, and Patch Panels, between Port A on the Fiber CAP
M and an auxiliary Ethernet device cannot exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet).
The CAP M is powered on as soon as power is connected to it. The CAP M must therefore be grounded
before you connect any electrical power to it. If you have not completed the steps in "Grounding the
CAP M” on page 46, stop and do so before proceeding.
For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required and for the DC
power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 2.5 mm2 is required. Each wire must observe the
applicable local regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of installation. Make
sure to connect the correct voltage to the CAP M.
