Cables and Connectors

The cable used to connect the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to the ODU can be any
standard CAT5e type provided that it is suitable for outdoor deployment. Motorola
recommends that cables to the specification below be used:
NEC/CEC: CMR (ETL) C (ETL) 75C SUN RES OIL RES II
Failure to use the recommended (or equivalent) standard of cable may invalidate the
system's safety certification.
The cable used to connect the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to the users Network
Equipment can be any standard CAT5e Cable.
The PIDU Plus to ODU and the PIDU Plus to Network Equipment cables may be unscreened
(UTP) or screened (STP). However, unscreened cables reduce the system's ability to cope
with nearby lightning strikes. If lightning activity is common in the area of deployment, the use
of screened cable is highly recommended. See Section 10 "Lightning Protection".
The PIDU Plus provides screen continuity between the ODU and Network Equipment
connections.
The ODU network connection implements automatic MDI/MDI-X sensing and pair swapping
allowing connection to another piece of networking equipment or directly to end user
equipment.

Surge Arrestor

The PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus meets the low level static discharge specifications
identified in Section 21 – Specifications, but does not provide lightning or surge suppression.
Installations will generally require lightning or surge suppression, a separate Ethernet surge
suppressor must be used and appropriately earthed. Suitable surge suppressors can be
sourced from your Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor or Solutions Provider. See Section 11
"Lightning Protection".
3.3.7

Mounting Brackets

The PTP 600 Series Bridge is supplied with a mounting bracket suitable for mounting the
ODU to a pole of 50mm (1") to 75mm (3") in diameter. For more details on mounting, see
section 7 "Installation".
The bracket allows for adjustment in both azimuth and elevation. The bracket may be split
allowing the pole mount section of the bracket to be mounted to the pole first. This allows the
installer to take the weight of the unit and secure it, one handed, with a single mounting bolt.
