Plan and Prepare for a Fiber CAP L Installation
Recommended Tools and Material
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist strap
• Dr
ill and bits to mount the to a wall or ceiling
• Fiber cleani
ng equipment
• if
required per local practice, insulated stranded copper wire for chassis ground; see "Ground the Fiber
CAP L (Optional)” on page 55.
Unpack and Inspect the CAP L and Optional Accessories
1 Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged
the components in the container.
2 Unpack
each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip.
3 I
f damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope
Technical Support (see "CMS Global Technical Support” on page 64). Save the damaged cartons for
inspection by the carrier.
4 Sa
ve all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date.
Obtain the Required Materials
Contact your local CommScope sales representative to obtain the following components, as required, for this
installation.
• Obtain
the cable required for this installation.
– Per
the installation plan, obtain either Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber (MMF) that is of
sufficient length to reach from the CAP L to the Classic CAN or TEN. In a cascade, the Primary Fiber
CA
P L connects to the Classic CAN or TEN.
– I
f you are cascading a Secondary Fiber CAP L to the Primary Fiber CAP L, you also need a sufficient
length of fiber to run between the two CAP Ls.
– If you are conn
ecting an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or IP camera, appropriate CAT cable
for the protocol to which the Fiber CAP L will connect is required. This
model supports a 1000 BASE-T
and 802.3at Class 4 Power over Cat6A Ethernet connection. For the CAT cable, follow the rules in
"Cat6A Cable Requirements for Ethernet Devices” on page 12.
– Per
the installation plan, obtain 50 coaxial cables that are of sufficient length to reach from the CAP L
to the passive RF antenna. The end of the 50
coaxial cable that will connect to the ANT connector can
be either a push-pull connector or a threaded connector.
• Obtain the Optical OCTIS Kits required for this installation; see "OCTIS Kits” on page 9.
• Obtain
SFP+ Module pairs that are appropriate for this installation; see "SFP+ Modules” on page 9.
• Obtain
the Mounting Kits for the installation. Mounting Kits are not included with the CAP L and must be
ordered separately.
