connects the Connect-OWS Ethernet port to the PoE power injector located in the
equipment cabinet. The supplied cable is pre-terminated both ends with shielded RJ-45
connectors.

Cable Length
The maximum recommended total length of the Ethernet cable is 91.5 m (300 ft) from
the wireless terminal to the network equipment. Cable lengths exceeding this length may
affect system performance.
Surge Suppression
The Connect-OWS Ethernet ports include built-in surge suppression.
: The system installer must install the surge/lightning protection at the
Ethernet cable ingress to the equipment cabinet.
Weatherproofing
The importance of proper weatherproofing can not be overstressed. The installer must
provide weatherproofing materials to be applied at the Connect-OWS Ethernet port and
ingress to the equipment cabinet. A gland is supplied for the Connect-OWS Ethernet
port. The gland must be installed and additional weatherproofing applied to provide
adequate protection against the weather.
Cable Hangars
It is important to provide strain relief, drip loops and protection against vibration and
abrasion caused by the wind, sand etc. The installer must provide suitable cable
hangars for the CAT-5 outdoor Ethernet cable, spaced at a recommended maximum of
450 -610 mm (~18 - 24 in).
