Cabling Concerns

Separate the antenna, data, and power cables from other wiring. Route the cables 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 inches) 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. The cable should not be taut and
should not pull the power connector at an angle.
