  • Page 56: Installation Considerations

    Installing Antennas Installation Considerations Cisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed through on the wall of the protected space. The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor: Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point.

  • Page 57: Cable For The Lightning Arrestor

    (the longer the run, the greater the loss). Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor. Grounding the Access Point The access point must be grounded before connecting power.
