Installing the T504
Deploying the T504
CAUTION!
The T504 includes one 12mm stainless steel M6x1 earth ground screw
with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer
than 12mm. If a screw is longer than 12mm, it can damage the T504 chassis.

Installing the Cable Power Tap
The CATV coaxial cable used in the field deployment must have 40 to 90 VAC power
multiplexed with the RF signal on the coaxial cable, since the T504 Connector B is
used for both electrical power and the RF signal.
Ruckus Wireless recommends installing a cable power tap (Antronix MGT2000-
SDPE tap, or equivalent) close to the T504. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions
to mount the cable power tap on the coaxial cable.

Powering the T504 with POC
40 to 90 VAC POC is used when the T504 is mounted on a cable strand and
powered via an F-type coaxial cable connected to the HFC cable plant.
1 Remove the power jumper from the power tap to remove AC power out of the
power tap.
