Figure 18: 150/300 PIDU Drip Loop Configuration
WARNING It is possible for moisture to enter the cable due to damage to the outer protective
layer. This moisture can track down the inside of the cable, filling up the drip loop and
eventually finding its way into the 150/300 PIDU. To protect against this the outer protective
layer of the cable can be opened up at the bottom of the drip loop to allow this moisture to
escape.
WARNING Some network operators employ gel filled cables to get around the problem of
moisture ingress and transmission. The Canopy 150/300 Mb BH has NOT been tested
against these cables. Use of gel filled cables may effect the Backhaul performance.
