  • Page 17: Weatherproofing Connections

    3 Weatherproofing Connections Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor router is essential to reliability and longevity of your product. This process prevents water from entering the router or the antennas through the connectors. A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings: 1.

  • Page 19: Important Points To Remember

    3.3 Important Points to Remember • Do not cover the weep holes on the antennas. Doing so can restrict the release of condensation from the antennas. • Proper weatherproofing is not a fast process. Set aside ample time to complete the steps outlined below.
  • Page 20 Figure 3-3 First Wrapping of Tape Wrapping of Butyl Rubber Cut a 3/4” (19 mm) strip of butyl rubber. Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (Figure 3-4). Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam (Figure 3-5).
  • Page 21 Figure 3-4 Butyl Rubber Placement Figure 3-5 Butyl Rubber Wrap MSR4000 Installation Guide...
  • Page 22 Second Wrapping of Tape Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Where you begin wrapping depends on the orientation of the antenna. Water should flow in the opposite direction of the wrapping to prevent water from entering the connector between the layers of tape.

  • Page 23: Weatherproofing Cable Connections

    3.5 Weatherproofing Cable Connections First Wrapping of Tape Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it. Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes it easier to maneuver the tape around the connectors and other components but is not required.
  • Page 24 Figure 3-8 Butyl Rubber Placement Figure 3-9 Butyl Rubber Wrap Second Wrapping of Tape Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Using 3/4” (19mm) electrical tape, begin wrapping at the connector and create four layers. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are no places where water can collect.

Insert all pair wires into the two shield rings (5). Make the ground wire attach to the narrow end of the inner ring and place the outer ring over the narrow end of the inner ring.

  • Page 37: Connecting The Power Cable (Msr4Kac)

    Note • The Ethernet cable and power cable need proper drip loops. Drip loops prevent water from entering the router through the connectors. • It is recommended to fix the Ethernet cable near the MSR2000 side to the wall or the pole.
  • Page 38 4.6.2 Best practices for Outdoor Connection to AC Mains • With virtually all infrastructure equipment that is installed outdoors connection to AC mains should be accomplished with an outdoor rated junction box. Note The connection to the AC mains must be implemented by a qualified resource in a manner that is consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment.
