Note
If grounding kit is installed, ensure the grounding kit is bonded to the tower or
Tower Ground Bus Bar (TGB).
For 5Gbps, Cambium Networks recommends CAT6 for cable runs under about 50m and CAT6a for
lengths over 50m up to the maximum of 100m. Shielding cables should be used and the shielded
CAT6\CAT6a needs to be continuous from the AP to its Ethernet switch.
Pole or tower mount guidelines
If you need to install AP to a metal tower or pole, then in addition to the general protection requirements,
follow the below requirements:
⚫
Ensure that the position of the equipment is lower than the top of the tower or its lightning air
terminal.
⚫
Ensure that the metal tower or pole is correctly grounded.
⚫
Install a grounding kit at the first point of contact (top), between the drop cable and the tower.
⚫
Install a grounding kit at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to horizontal transition point.
Connection examples of pole or tower installations are shown in below figure.
