Cabling Concerns

Separate the antenna, data, and power cables from other wiring and route away
from sharp edges.

Cable Strain Relief

Sierra Wireless recommends using cable strain relief for installations in high-
vibration environments.
Place the cable strain relief within 200 mm (8") of the FX30S to reduce the mass of
cable supported by the power connector under vibration. Ideally, the strain relief
mounting for the DC cable should be attached to the same object as the gateway,
so both the gateway and cable vibrate together. The strain relief should be
mounted such that it does not apply additional stress on the power connector, i.e.
the cable should not be taut and should not pull the power connector at an angle.
