Chapter 2: System hardware
Antennas and antenna cabling
Antenna accessories
Connectorized ODUs require the following additional components:
•
Cable grounding kits: Order one cable grounding kit for each grounding point on the antenna
cables. Refer to
for specifications and part numbers.
•
Self-amalgamating and PVC tape: Order these items to weatherproof the RF connectors.
•
Lightning arrestors: When the connectorized ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors (not
PTP 650 LPUs) are required for protecting the antenna RF cables at building entry. One arrestor
is required per antenna cable. One example of a compatible lightning arrestor is the
Polyphaser LSXL-ME or LSXL (not supplied by Cambium Networks).
FCC and IC approved antennas
For connectorized units operating in the USA or Canada, choose external antennas from
(5.8 GHz). These are approved by the FCC for use with the product and are
constrained by the following limits for single- or dual-polarization parabolic dish antennas:
•
5.4 GHz - 34.9 dBi per polarization or antenna.
•
5.8 GHz - up to 37.7 dBi per polarization or antenna.
Caution
Antennas not included in these tables are strictly prohibited for use with the PTP 650
in the specified bands.
Caution
T
his radio transmitter (IC certification number 109AO-50650) has been approved by
Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain
indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (Numéro de certification IC 109AO-50650) a été approuvé
par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous
et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type
d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est
supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur.
