1. Standard Canopy installation practices apply, including using shielded Ethernet cable
for all infrastructure cabling, using drip loops, providing extra cable for future use at
any termination, and ensuring the tower or structure is fully grounded (Protective
Earth – PE).
2. Use dielectric grease on all connections and in all RJ-45 Ethernet connectors.
(Dielectric grease is generally available in the trade, and is specially formulated so as
to be uniformly non-conducting.) The best practice is to use enough grease to fill the
RJ-45 female connector, and then insert the RJ-45 male connector and push the
grease further into the Canopy unit and around the RJ-45 connector. Excess grease
