Determine The Power Consumption Of The Cap M2; Determine The Cap M2 Installation Site - CommScope ERA CAP M2 Manual

Plan and Prepare for a Fiber CAP M2 Installation
Depending on the transmit bandwidth requirements, you can connect up to four CAP M 2s to each
–
OPT Card.
Fiber CAP M2s must be connected to OPT Cards installed in Slots L1, L2, L3, or L4 in a TEN or Classic CAN.
OPT Cards installed in WCS Slots L5 - L8 cannot be used to connect APs.

Determine the Power Consumption of the CAP M2

Use the power consumption matrix in
consumption numbers are at the CAP M2 power inputs and do not account for feed losses.
Configuration
Fiber CAP M2
Mains power must be interruptible with an external delay-actions mains breaker. For the Mains breaker,
observe the following recommendations.
• CAP M2 APs require a minimum 120 Volt / 15 Amp or 240 Volt / 13 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC
service. MAINS power must be interruptible with an external delay-actions mains breaker.
CommScope recommends external AC breakers capable of at least 15 Amps maximum for 120-Volt
service or at least 13 Amps for 240-Volt service. One type B breaker can support up to two CAP M2
units, and a type C breaker can support up to four AP M2 units.
• For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider.

Determine the CAP M2 Installation Site

When deciding on a suitable mounting site, observe the following rules; refer also to
for Wall Mounts" on page
The following sections provides weight and dimension requirements needed to determine the best
installation site for the Fiber CAP M2.
