Connect the Cables to the Fiber CAP L
Do the following to connect a Fiber CAP L to a passive RF antenna.
1 Connect the CAP L ANT 1 o
r ANT 2 connector to a passive RF antenna.
a Locate the 50
coaxial cables obtained for this installation; see "Obtain the Required Materials” on
page 23.
b Install
the passive antennas per the
manufacturer’s installation instructions. For MIMO CAP L, if
connecting both ANT connectors, you will connect the CAP L to either two separate external passive
antennas or to two
ports on a cross-polarized dual antenna. Each connector supports two RF bands
(see Table 12).

c Remove the plastic-protective cap from the 4.3-10 connectors.
d Remove the IP67/EMI blank plug from the ANT 1/2 connector.
e Connect the passive multi-band antenna to the ANT 1
or ANT 2 connector using coaxial cable with the
least amount of loss possible.
• If the 50
coaxial cable has a push-pull connector, make sure the cable is seated firmly in the
ANT 1 or ANT 2 connector.
• If the 50
coaxial cable has a threaded connector, torque the connector 5 N-m (3.69 ft-lb). Do not
over-tighten the connector.
f C
onnect the other end of the 50
coaxial cable to the passive antenna installed in Step b.
2 If necessary, repeat Step 1 on page 60 to connect a 50
coaxial cable to the other ANT connector.
Connect the Fiber CAP L to a Classic CAN or TEN
The following steps are applicable to a singular Fiber CAP L, or to the Primary CAP L in a cascade.
1 Connect the CAP L Op
tical Port 1 as appropriate for this installation.
a Remove the dust cap from the CAP L
Optical Port 1 connector and the connectors on the SMF or MMF.
b Follow the local cleaning technique
to clean Optical Port 1.
c Clean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supp
lier’s recommendations.
d Install the SFP+ connector
and Optical OCTIS Kit on the end of the SMF or MMF that will connect to
the CAP L.
i Follow the limitations per the maximum range described in "SFP+ Modules” on page 9.
