PTP-SYNC site selection
If PTP-SYNC is to be installed, consider the following factors when selecting a site:
•
Indoor location, or outdoor in a weatherproofed cabinet, with no possibility of
condensation.
•
Accessibility for viewing status indicators.
•
Distance from the ODU to the PTP-SYNC unit (maximum cable run from the ODU
to the PTP-SYNC unit is 40 m [131 ft]).
•
Distance from the PIDU Plus to the PTP-SYNC unit (maximum cable run from the
PIDU Plus to the PTP-SYNC unit is 2 m [6 ft]).
•
Distance from the PIDU Plus to the connected network equipment (maximum
cable run from the PIDU Plus to the connected equipment is 20 m [65 ft] when
the PTP-SYNC is in use).
A rack mounting adaptor is available for the PTP-SYNC unit.
Wind loading
Ensure that the site will not be prone to excessive wind loading.
Antennas and equipment mounted on towers or buildings will subject the mounting
structure to significant lateral forces when there is appreciable wind. Antennas are
normally specified by the amount of force (in pounds) for specific wind strengths. The
magnitude of the force depends on both the wind strength and size of the antenna.
