Section 2.8
Weatherproofing the Subscriber Unit
Most outdoor subscriber unit, antenna and cable problems are caused by coaxial cable connections loosened by
vibration, allowing moisture to penetrate the connector interface. Siemens strongly recommends weatherproofing
all outdoor cable connections to prevent the ingress of water and help secure connections.
Since PoE cables also carry DC current, the need for proper weatherproofing cannot be overstated.
Use cold shrink tubing or self-amalgamating tape, as well as UV-resistant tape and electrical insulation putty to
seal connections.
IMPORTANT!
Warranty is void if the subscriber unit is assembled without waterproof sealing or if the sealing is
removed from the connections.
