Cat-5 Cabling Considerations; Cabling And Weather Considerations; Weatherizing - Trango Systems Atlas5010 User Manual

SNMP
It is important to properly seal each antenna connection to protect against moisture and corrosion. Each Atlas radio is shipped
with a packet of Coax-Seal® connector sealant which should be applied over each of the SMA connectors. Coax-Seal is a
gum-like tape which is applied by wrapping around the connector and then compressed/molded to form a single cohesive
protective covering over the connector
To properly apply the Coax-Seal product first wrap the connector as shown:
Secondly, compress the Coax-Seal product to mold into a single protective covering:
Grounding
Proper mounting of the radio includes consideration for grounding. Please
note that if the radio is attached to a metal pole that is earth-grounded, no
other grounding is necessary. If the radio is not earth-grounded via the
mounting bracket, you must attach a grounding wire to the grounding stud on
the radio as in the adjacent diagram.

Cat-5 Cabling Considerations

Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations. The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to be
grounded if the radio itself is grounded. It is important to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if exposed
to the weather (especially direct sunlight). It is recommended that installers place all Cat-5 cables inside conduit. Plastic
conduit is sufficient. If metal conduit is used, it is not necessary to use shielded Cat-5 cable.

Weatherizing

Important! Please note that the silicon strain relief has a small gap when the cable is
!
installed. This is normal .
It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the
!
radio upside down as water will enter the bottom of the radio and cause permanent damage
Important! The Power-over-Ethernet injector is not a weatherized device and must be
!
located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet.
