This is especially important for optical (SFP) cables. Special Instructions for use of Glands Note Each PTP 850E unit is supplied with two glands. If additional glands are required, they must be ordered separately, in kits of five glands each. Table 9: Glands Kit...
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 850E Interfaces), perform these steps to prepare the cable: Strip off a maximum of 20 mm from the cable jacket.
Page 31
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. Page 31 of 99...
Page 32
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. 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.
Page 33
The M28 gland cap has hook on top. After attaching the gland cap to the gland, you can connect a rope to the hook and use this to lift the gland and cable up to the radio unit. Before screwing the gland into the radio unit, you must remove the gland cap. Page 33 of 99...
Page 34
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.
11. Tighten the rear portion of the gland onto the main part of the gland and make sure that the main part of the gland does not have an additional swivel after the rear portion is secured. Note If the main portion of the gland is rotated while the rear portion is seizing the cable, this may ruin the cable connector.
Connecting an Optical Fiber Cable and SFP Types of SFPs The PTP 850E includes a QSFP cage (P4) that supports four 1/10 GbE interfaces. These interfaces correspond to logical ports 3, 4, 5, and 6. P4 can also be used with an adaptor to support a single SFP+ module (1/10 GbE). The following table provides the marketing model of the adaptor.
The following table lists recommended SFP modules that can be used with PTP 850E. Table 12: SFP Module Recommendations Part number Item Description N000082L059A PTP 820 SFP Optical 1000Base-LX,EXT TEMP N000082L072A PTP 820 SFP Optical 1000Base-SX,EXT TEMP N000082L117A PTP 820 SFP Electric Int 1000Base-T,EXT TEMP The following table lists recommended CSFP modules that can be used with PTP 850E.

Slide the gland cap into the cable. Slide the rubber into the cable. Insert the fibers together with the connectors into the cable gland. 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.
Page 39
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 850E connector. Page 39 of 99...
Page 40
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. Note Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit.

Secure the cable to the gland using a tie wrap. Page 41 of 99...
Connecting a DC Power Cable Note The DC power cable and connector must be ordered separately. See DC Cable Connector. To connect a DC power cable: Strip off 45 mm from the cable jacket. Expose 10 mm at the edge of each of the two wires. Insert the power cable into the gland.
Page 43
Plug the power cable with connector into the PTP 850E power connector. Tighten the two front screws. Screw the gland into the radio unit. Note Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is even with the cover. Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance. If there is resistance, stop immediately and verify that the gland is not being inserted at an angle.
Page 44
the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent proper sealing of the interface. 10. Tighten the gland cap. 11. Secure the cable to the gland with a tie wrap. Page 44 of 99...
If you need to assemble the Ethernet cable, follow the instructions in Preparing the Ethernet Cable and Plug-in Field, then proceed to Connection of Ethernet Cable to PTP 850E. If you using a pre-assembled Ethernet cable, follow the instructions in Preparing the Ethernet Cable Already Assembled, then proceed to Connection of Ethernet Cable to PTP 850E.

Do not strip off the end of the cable shield, but rather, twist the shield to form a braid. Roll back the foil shield insulation and wrap the drain wire around the foil. Do not remove any insulation from the conductors. Align the colored wires.
Page 47
10. Wrap the twisted braid firmly around the cable jacket and let the crimping tail of the RJ45 plug envelop it. Note To ensure proper grounding, it is essential that the twisted braid be firmly connected to the RJ45 plug. 11.
Connection of Ethernet Cable to PTP 850E To connect the Ethernet cable to the PTP 850E: Remove the relevant cap from the PTP 850E radio. You can use the side of the gland to unscrew the cap. Page 48 of 99...

The total length of the cable between the PTP 850E port and the Switch/Router the device is connected to should not exceed 100m/328ft. This length includes the connection between the PTP 850E and the PoE Injector (X1 + X2 ≤ 100m/328ft in the figure below).
Note For the warranty to be honored, the connection must be through the glands only. Do not open the PoE injector box cover. PoE Injector Grounding To ground the PoE Injector: On the right side of each PoE Injector, loosen the screw, plain washer, and serrated washer.
Page 55
Procedure Mount and tighten the PoE Injector to a wall using two M6 bolts and anchors. The M6 bolts and anchors must be purchased separately. Note Use Anchor Stainless Steel with flanged Hexagonal nut M6X70. Drill two 6mm diameter holes with 100mm distance between the center of the holes. Insert the anchors with the bolts.

Alignment – 1+0 with 43 dBi Flat Antenna and Alignment Device When you order an PTP 850E with a 43 dBi flat antenna, the radio and antenna are delivered together as a single unit. The polarization is determined by the placement of the radio- antenna unit.
You can adjust the elevation from the delivery position of 22° downward up to a position as far as 45° upward. Be sure to attach the PTP 850E radio and antenna to the installation and alignment device before adjusting the elevation, otherwise the weight of the radio and antenna might accidently reduce the elevation angle.

Performing Antenna Alignment Using the Enhanced Alignment Kit You can easily adjust the azimuth and elevation of the antenna using a number of screws and nuts located on the installation and alignment device (Figure 28). Adjusting the Antenna Azimuth Note For wall-mount installations, if it is necessary to adjust the azimuth by more than 45°, you must first adjust the position of the Azimuth Screws.
Page 70
Manually adjust the azimuth base to its required location. Page 70 of 99...
Page 71
Once the azimuth base has been adjusted to its approximate location, lock the azimuth fixing pin by rotating the pin clockwise until it appears to be aligned with its groove. At this point, you must adjust the azimuth base until the fixing pin slips into its groove.
