Installing CAP Ls
For cascaded CAP Ls, the maximum Cat6A cable length between the AUX port on the Primary CAP L and
•
the MAIN port on the Secondary (cascaded) CAP L, including the length of the Cat6A Patch Cord, must be
less than 100 meters (see Figure 17).
The Secondary CAP L must get its power through the DC connector (either from a local supply or hybrid
fiber); power over the Cat6A cable to the cascaded unit is not supported. See
from the CAT/TEN to the Primary CAP L
Cat6A cannot exceed 100 meters

The maximum Cat6A cable length between the AUX port on the CAP L and an auxiliary Ethernet device is
•
10 meters, including all Cat6A cables, Cat6A Patch Cords, and Patch Panels, as shown in Figure 18. 24
AWG Cat6A cabling is sufficient for the entire cable run, from the CAN/TEN to the auxiliary Ethernet
