CAP M OVERVIEW
ThisinstallationguidedescribestheMediumPowerCarrierAccessPoint(CAPM),whichinterfacesviaan
opticallinkwithaClassicCAN,orwithaTEN.ThisallowstheCAP
MtoprovidedataoverSingle-ModeFiber
(SMF),orMulti-ModeFiber(MMF).PowerforCAP
MsisprovidedoverembeddedAC/DC(ACversion)or
remotelythroughhybridfiber(DCversion).
Onthedownlink,theCAPMconvertsdataarrivingattheCAPMtoanalogsignalsandsendsthemtothe
Antennaport.Ontheuplink,receivedsignalsaredigitizedandserializedintodatastreams,whicharesent
backtotheClassicCANorTEN.EachCAP
McanprovideRFcoverageforuptofourspecificfrequencybands.
Figure1showshowaCAPMcanbedeployedinanErasystem.

• ispassivelycooledandoperateswithinthefollowingtemperatureranges:
-33°Cto+52°C(-27.4°Fto125.6°F)
• isratedforindoorandoutdoor(IP66)installations;see"DeterminetheMountingSite”onpage16
• hasatypicalpowerconsumptionof140W;seealso"DeterminethePowerConsumptionoftheCAPM”on
