3.0 Physical Description
Horizon Compact is an integrated Ethernet modem and microwave radio transceiver, housed in a rugged
weatherproof housing. It is provided with two weatherproof connectors, Port 1 and Port 2. Port 1, copper
10/100/1000 Base-t, or optional optical interface, carries data and optional in-band management traffic.
Port 2, copper 10/100/1000 Base-t, carries optional out-of-band management traffic only. When Port 2 is
not in use, a weatherproo f protective cap is used to seal the port.
A BNC style connector, with protective cap, is provided for obtaining field strength readings during the
antenna alignment process. The output voltage is linear, giving 1 mV per dB values e.g. -30 mV = -30 dB.
It is also used for providing a radio muting signal in system redundancy applications.
A high power variant is available, which requires a sun shield to meet temperature specifications.

3.1 Cabling
Both copper and optical interface cabling is supported.
3.1.1 Copper Interface
Two, weatherproof, RJ-45 Ethernet connectors provide data and management connections to the unit
over CAT5E cabling. Ethernet cables must be wired for a straight through connection (see Section 4.0).
One connector (GigE – Port 1) is for data traffic and optional in-band management. Power (-36 to -60 V
DC) is provided by an optional mains power adaptor and supplied to the Horizon Compact using Power
on Ethernet (PonE) techniques , which incorporates both power and network transient suppression (See
Section 8.1). CAT5E cable length is restricted to 90 metres.
The second connector (Port 2) is solely for an optional out-of-band management connection, using an
overlay network. If Port 2 is not being used (e.g. in -band management being used), ensure that the
vacant connector is sealed by fitting a weatherproof cap.
3.1.2 Optical Interface
A weatherproof, military specification, multi-pin, connector is provided for Port 2, which includes the power
feed. Port 1 has a weatherproof optical fibre connector. Single mode and multimode fibre options are
available. As with the copper variant, Port 1 supports data traffic and optional in-band management and
Port 2 is for optional out-of-band management only.
In the optical variant, power (-36 to -60 V DC) is fed to Port 2 via a short ‘Y’ adapter cable, which also
includes a weatherproof, in-line, RJ-45 connector for connecting to the optional out-of-band management
overlay network. The power feed wires (see Table 3-2 for recommended gauge ) are spliced into the
adapter cable using weatherproof tap connectors. The power feed and Port 2 Ethernet cables (maximum
length 100 m) are fed through a Transtector surge arrestor unit designed to protect power and network
circuits from transients.
Horizon Compact Release 1. 01.01 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
Physical Description
As an alternative, an existing AirPair ODU composite power and Ethernet cable assembly, which is
compatible with the Horizon Port 2 connector, may be used, provided that the RJ-45 connector (grey
CAT5) at the Transtector end is re-terminated to A T & T GigE standards. The same Transtector type
used in an AirPair ODU installation may also be used.
Table 3-2 Port 2 Power Cable Wire Gauge
These values are true for all radio variants and based on a minimum voltage of 35 V DC at the Horizon.
Distance from Power Supply to Horizon Unit 50 m 100 m 200 m 300 m
Minimum wire gauge required (AWG) 20 16 14 12
Note that the power wires in the AirPair ODU modem composite cable are 16 AWG, which supports the
maximum length (100 m) when out-of-band management is employed using the combined CAT5 cable.

3.2 Lightning Protection
The Horizon Compact is protected from cable transients and power surges caused by lightning, or other
sources, by means of internal surge arrestor components and external housing grounding points (See
Section 8.0). For the copper interface variant, protection of the connected network is provided by a
proprietary DragonWave PonE power integrator/surge suppressor unit, into which the Ethernet cables are
plugged. The power integrator/surge suppressor is located outside the network equipment enclosure,
close to the network switch/router connection point.
The optical variant requires the power feed and the Port 2 management connection (if used) to be
connected via a Transtector surge suppressor to protect power and network circuits.
3.3 Dual Polarity Radio Mount (DPRM)
The DPRM system allows two Horizon Compact units to be assembled to a single antenna. The antenna
used is no different to that used for a single unit. One Horizon Compact unit is mounted for horizontal
polarity and the other for vertical polarity. Both units can transmit and receive simultaneously. This allows
a link to carry up to 800 Mbps of Ethernet traffic. Although both units can operate on the same frequency
channels, with 30 dB isolation, it is recommended that different frequency channels be used for each unit.

3.4 Power Switch Radio Mount (PSRM)
For redundancy purposes, the PSRM allows two Horizon units to be mounted to a single antenna. Both
units must be or iented for the same polarity and only one unit can transmit/receive at any one time. The
PSRM looks similar to the DPRM shown in Figure 3-3, but has internal components that only allow one
unit to transmit/receive at a time.
Note that redundant systems do not have to use the PSRM. Each may be separately mounted to their
own antennas if desired. See Section 11.13 for more details.
The benefits of the PS RM are that only one antenna is required, reducing tower real estate requirements,
reducing weight and minimizing wind loading.
Disadvantages include a 4 dB loss in signal when operating on the primary systems at each end of the
link and an 8.5 dB loss in signal when a secondary radio is activated (one end running on Primary and
other end operating on secondary).

4.2 Ethernet Cabling from Horizon to Ethernet Switch
For the copper interface, data cabling from the Horizon unit to the Ethernet switch consists of outdoor
rated, shielded, Cat5E cables equivalent to Belden 7919A. The shielded cables require shielded RJ-45
connectors. Use of standard indoor unshielded RJ-45 connectors may result in poorly constructed
cables, intermittent connections and data loss.
If Port 2 is not being used, ensure that a protective weatherproof cap is fitted to the port receptacle.
The cables terminate in a Horizon Power on Ethernet (PonE) unit located outside of the building entry
point.
Note: Straight through Ethernet cables must be used between the PonE adapter and the Horizon.
The use of a cross -over type will result in damage to the Horizon Compact unit.
The PonE unit contains surge arrestors and must be grounded according to local or regional Electrical
Codes. Ethernet cables are connected between the PonE unit and the Ethernet switch or router.
Power for the PonE unit is supplied by 2-wire 16 AWG electrical wiring, carrying 48 vDC (-48 v or +48v)
with a maximum current draw of 2 amperes.

4.3 Assembling the RJ-45 Connector
Weatherproof RJ-45 connector shells are used for connecting the CAT5E cable, leading from the poweron- Ethernet power supply and network connections, to the Horizon Compact. Cables and connectors may
be purchased from DragonWave or may be constructed or supplied by the customer.
Two different styles of connector have been used in production. For Horizon serial numbers ending in
“999” or less, an RJ45 “snap in” type in-line housing is used. For serial numbers ending in “1000” or
higher a “push fit” style is used. Both styles are no t compatible and do not mate with the respective
female connector on the horizon chassis.
4.3.1 “Snap fit” style
The connector shell must be assembled in a specific manner for it to correctly connect to the Horizon
Compact unit. The CAT5E cable is terminated as a straight through connection with a shielded RJ-45
connector. This RJ-45 connector has to be assembled into the weatherproof connector shell oriented as
shown in Figure 4-4.

4.3.2 “Push fit” style
This connector relies on a gland nut to hold the assembly firmly together. The CAT5E cable is threaded
through all the components of the connector housing (see Figure 4-5) before the cable is terminated as a
straight through connection with a shielded RJ-45 connector. Once terminated, the RJ-45 connector
slides back into the connec tor housing which accepts the tab on the RJ-45 connector. Screw the ferrule
into the connector housing as far as it will go, ensuring that the ‘O’ ring creates a tight seal with the
connector housing. Slide the compression seal into the ferrule, noting that the keyways have to mate with
channels in the ferrule. While ensuring that the RJ-45 connector is firmly seated in the connector housing,
tighten up the gland nut to secure the complete connector assembly.

5.0 Powering the Horizon Compact
Before an active management session can be started on the Horizon Compact, power needs to be
provided to the unit. Read this section completely before applying power to the Horizon Compact.
5.1 Copper Interface
The Horizon Compact with copper interface receives its power over the Ethernet connection to Port 1
using a DragonWave proprietary technique. To integrat e the power onto the Ethernet cable requires the
use of the DragonWave Power on Ethernet (PonE) adapter. The DragonWave PonE adapter also
includes transient and surge suppression components to protect the power supply and network from
lightning induced surges and transients.
Note: The Horizon PonE implementation is proprietary and does not follow IEEE standards.
CAUTION
Only use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the Horizon to the PonE/surge unit.
Do not use a cross-over Ethernet cable otherwise damage to the Horizon will result.

Figure 5-1 Connecting Power to the Horizon Compact – copper interface
CAUTION Connect the Horizon Compact unit to the PonE adapter correctly BEFORE turning on
power.
1. Connect Port 1 of the Horizon Compact to the correct socket on the PonE adapter using a
straight through Ethernet cable (see caution above).
2. Connect the Ethernet port on the PC to the network input socket on the PonE/surge unit, using a
straight through Ethernet cable.
Ensure that you have connected the PC and Horizon to the correct RJ-45 sockets on the PonE/surge unit
(see diagram above).
3. Once the PC and Horizon Compact are connected to the PonE/surge unit, you may connect
power to the PonE/surge unit. This will supply power to the Horizon Compact unit.
CAUTION Do not connect a PC or other network device (e.g. network switch) to the right hand RJ45 sockets on the PonE adapter. -48 V DC is present on these connectors which may destroy the
connected device. Connect only a Horizon Compact unit to the right hand RJ-45 connectors.

5.2 Optical Interface
In the copper interface version, power is fed to the Horizon using PonE techniques via the Ethernet
connection to Port 1. In the optical version, this is not possible, so power is fed via the connection to Port
2. Port 2 on the optical interface variant is equipped with a weatherproof MIL style multi-pin connector,
which incorporates an Ethernet connection and a power feed (NOT PonE) connection. Connection to Port
2 is achieved using a short ‘Y’ adaptor cable, having an RJ-45 connector on one leg, and power tails on
the other. The Ethernet connection to Port 2 provides for optional out-of-band management and the
power tails allow a power feed to be spliced into circuit. Note that the Ethernet connection and power feed
to Port 2 must be fed via a Transtector unit to protect the network and power systems from transients.
As an alternative, an existing AirPair ODU composite power and Ethernet cable assembly, which is
compatible with the Horizon Port 2 connector, may be used, provided that the RJ-45 connector (grey
CAT5) at the Transtector end is terminated as shown in Figure 5-3. The same Transtector type used in an
AirPair ODU install ation may also be used.
