Installation of a Yaggi antenna as an outdoor antenna
6.2. Cable layout and connector assembly
1. Keep the type, specifications, routing direction, location and curvature radius of cables in compliance with the model
requirements. Place cables in correct order, bend them smoothly, and protect the surface from any damage.
2. Place RF cables separately from power cables. Take proper isolation measures if they have to be placed on the same
cable racks owing to the site condition restrictions.
3. Fasten all connection parts of the whole system in correct order, from the antenna to repeater interfaces, and make
sure that the electrical interfaces are well contacted. Give waterproof treatment to outdoor connection parts.
4. Take lightning protection measures for the antenna and feeder system in accordance with the system requirements.
Avoid deforming the antenna feeder where grounding clips are placed, and give waterproof treatment to the feeder.
6.3. Indoor antenna installation
Correct antennas types shall be used according to the site conditions and the requirement.
1. Omni antenna (ceiling Omni or whip antenna) shall be installed in the center and radiate all directions.
2. It is better to use a directional panel antenna or Yaggi antenna when the area shape is long and narrow (corridors,
long row of houses in two sides, tunnels or elevators or rural open space).
