Do not remove protective caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so.
Ground the Fiber CAP L (Optional)
Follow the steps below to ground the OPA only if grounding is required in your locality or if the installation
plans require the CAP L be grounded. The different CAP L installation procedures will
tell you when to ground
the CAP L.
The CAP L is equipped with an M6 grounding stud located on the back of the unit; however, grounding is
not necessary. CAP Ls are classified as low-voltage devices and do not have internal
power supplies.
CommScope recommends checking your local and national electrical codes to determine if grounding is
a requirement.
Do the following to ground a Fiber CAP L.
1 Obtain a length of #18 AWG (1.00 mm
) insulated stranded copper wire for use as a chassis-grounding
wire.
2 Termin
ate one end of the wire w
ith a ring terminal.
3 Locate the chassis-ground stud at the rear of the enclosure.
4 Remove the Keps nut from the chassis-
ground stud.
