Deployment & Installation Grounding

Grounding Wire
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.

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.
