suppressor. The surge suppressor must be installed at the point where the DC electrical cable
exits/enters the building, however, the use of a surge suppressor at the radio unit is optional since
power cable surge suppression is built into the unit.
If a copper Cat5 Ethernet cable is permanently installed, it is necessary to install surge suppressors at
both ends of this cable. A surge suppressor must be placed within the radio enclosure (to protect the
radio electronics) and at the building exit/entrance (to protect the indoor equipment).
