It is recommended that you connect a 50 ohm RF load to an idle antenna interface and wrap
the RF load with insulation tape and waterproof tape. Huawei offers 50 ohm RF loads for
you to purchase.
Wrap the RF cable using one-layer PVC insulation tape, three-layer waterproof adhesive
tape, and then three-layer PVC insulation tape.
Before wrapping the waterproof tape, stretch the tape evenly until the tape turns 1/2 as wide
as before. Wrap each layer of tape tightly and ensure that each layer covers more than 50%
of the layer below it.
Wrap the three-layer tape from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and then from bottom
to top.
Bend radius requirements: RG-8U RF cable: > 150 mm; 1/2" RF cable: > 50 mm; 7/8" RF
cable: > 250 mm. One inch equals to 25.4 mm.
NOTICE
Antenna interfaces of the AP provides a 5 KA surge protection capability. Generally, no
additional surge protective device needs to be installed, and the RF cables are directly
connected to the antenna interfaces.
If a higher surge protection capability is required, the customer can purchase a surge
protective device. When installing the surge protective device, ensure that it is connected
to a ground cable.
