Cable Options
Extreme Networks offers optional low-loss, outdoor and indoor cables. The outdoor cables are
watertight cables to connect the outdoor APs to an antenna. The optional outdoor cables have a
Standard Polarity Type-N Plug and Type-N Jack. The indoor cables have a Reverse Polarity SMA-Type
connector. Carefully determine the distance between the locations where you intend to mount the
external antenna to ensure that you order the right cable length.
Note
Extreme Networks recommends using PFP600 (Cables: WS–CAB–L600C25N and WS–CAB–
L600C50N) for 5 GHz.

Contacting an Antenna Installation Company
Have an antenna installation professional install the outdoor antennas. The antenna installer provides
the expertise to properly install, secure, and ground your antenna. The following checklists describe
tasks that the installer may need to perform.
Note
The antenna installation professional should be licensed or certified in accordance with local
regulations.
Mounting Requirements
•
Determine the type of mounting that is required (tripod, wall mount, and so on).
•
Determine the guy wires needed. Typically, three guy wires are needed for each 3 meter (10 foot)
section of the mast; for example, 6 meters (20 feet) of mast requires six guy wires.
