  • Page 33: General Installation Procedure

    This procedure applies to all cable types and explains how to install the cables using long glands. The gland is supplied assembled. When using the power adaptor (see section 2.2, PTP 820E Interfaces), perform these steps to prepare the cable: Strip off a maximum of 20 mm from the cable jacket.
  • Page 34 For all installations, perform the following steps: Before inserting a cable, you must disassemble the gland cap and gland rubber from the gland body. Slide the gland cap into the cable. Slide the gland rubber into the cable. Slide the cable into the body of the gland. If you are using a gland cap (see Step 5), make sure to leave enough space for the gland cap to fit into the gland without disturbing the cable.
  • Page 35 Optionally, after securing the cable into the body of the gland, you can close the other side of the gland with an M28 gland cap. The gland cap protects the cable and connector from damage when elevating the cable and gland to the radio unit. The M28 gland cap has hook on top.
  • Page 36 If you used an M28 gland cap to close the gland when raising the gland and cable to the radio unit, remove the gland cap from the gland at this point by unscrewing the cap. Connect the cable to the port. Screw the gland into the radio unit until there is full contact between the gland and the radio unit.

    Connecting Optical Fiber to SFPs To connect an optical fiber cable and the SFP transceiver: Use a pre-assembled cable. Split the connector into two separate LC connectors (one for each fiber). Remove the gland cap and rubber from the gland body. Slide the gland cap into the cable.
  • Page 41 Secure the cable to the lip of the gland using a tie wrap. Note If you are raising the cable to a radio unit on a tower, this step is crucial to prevent the cable from slipping from the gland, which could damage the connector. Connect the fibers to the SFP transceiver.
  • Page 42 Remove the tie wrap securing the cable to the gland. Note A new tie wrap must be used to secure the cable to the gland at the end of the procedure, as described in Step 13. 10. Connect the connector into the PTP 820E connector. Page 42 of 110...
  • Page 43 11. Tighten the gland to the radio unit until there is full contact between the gland and the radio unit. 12. Tighten the gland cap.

  • Page 101: Multiband Configurations

    PTP 820E can be used in Multiband configurations with PTP 820C, PTP 820S, or third-party microwave radios. For configurations with PTP 820E and PTP 820C or PTP 820S, a special Multiband antenna can be used. This antenna transmits and receives both E-band and microwave signals. Both units (PTP 820E and PTP 820C or PTP 820S) are connected to this antenna via direct mount.
  • Page 102 Procedure Adjust the twist on both the PTP 820E antenna interface and the PTP 820C Splitter. Perform one of the following steps, according to the required polarization (horizontal or vertical). For horizontal polarization, locate the holes above and below the letter “H” on the pins and fasten the two screws.
