Edge Lead-In Ethernet Connection

An Ethernet lead-in cable is supplied with the Edge system. This cable connects the
Edge Ethernet port to the PoE power injector located in the equipment cabinet. The
supplied cable is pre-terminated both ends with shielded RJ-45 connectors.

Cable Length

The maximum recommended total length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m (330 ft) from the
wireless terminal to the network equipment. Cable lengths exceeding this length may
affect system performance.

Surge Suppression

The Edge wireless terminal features built-in surge suppression on the Ethernet port.
: The system installer must install the surge/lightning protection at the
Ethernet cable ingress to the equipment cabinet.

Weatherproofing

The importance of proper weatherproofing can not be overstressed. The installer must
provide weatherproofing materials to be applied at the Edge Ethernet port and ingress to
the equipment cabinet. A gland is supplied for the Edge Ethernet port. The gland must
be installed and additional weatherproofing applied to provide adequate protection
against the weather.

Cable Supports

It is important to provide strain relief, drip loops and protection against vibration and
abrasion caused by the wind, sand etc. The installer must provide suitable cable
supports for the CAT-5 outdoor Ethernet cable, spaced at a recommended maximum of
450 -610 mm (~18 - 24 in).
