3.1Ethernet and Power Cabling

DO NOT coil excess Ethernet cable, but fold in a zig-zag fashion whilst observing a minimum bend radius of 2 inches. The affect of lightning induced current surges in the tower or conductors adjacent to the Ethernet cable will be minimized when the Ethernet cable is folded in this way.

Note: For more information on installation and cabling, refer to DragonWave Technical Note: HC-TN-001.4 Horizon Compact Plus PonE.

Two options of copper interface cabling are supported along with an optical interface.

3.1.1Copper Interface

Two, weatherproof, RJ45 Ethernet connectors provide data and management connections to the unit over CAT5E cabling. Power is provided to the unit via Port 1 using a DWI proprietary power feed over the Ethernet data cable - PonE (see Section 4.0). Ethernet cables must be wired for a straight through connection.

3.1.2Optical Interface

A weatherproof, MIL 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 management traffic and Port 2 is for power input plus data traffic and optional management, or single wire 1+1 redundancy applications (redundancy is not supported in this release).

A composite power and Ethernet cable assembly is available, which is compatible with the Horizon Port 2 connector, which feeds power, data and optional management to the Horizon.

Where distances prevent the use of the composite cable due to power feed loss, a special “Y” feed adaptor cable is available that allows customer provided, heavier duty, wires to be spliced into the power feed connection. 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 DragonWave Lightning Arrestor unit designed to protect power and network circuits from transients.

Note that the power wires in the composite cable are comprised of two pairs of 20 AWG wire, which supports the maximum length (100 m) when out-of-band management is employed using the combined CAT5 cable.

3.2Lightning Protection

Note: For effective protection against lightning-induced surges, proper grounding and shielding practices MUST be followed for the ENTIRE installation. Consult DragonWave Inc. Technical Note: HC-TN-001.4 Horizon Compact Plus PonE and Quick Reference Guide before installation!

The Horizon Compact Plus is protected from cable transients and power surges caused by lightning, or other sources, by means of internal lightning arrestor components and external housing grounding points (See Section 8.0).

For the Horizon Compact Plus, copper interface variant, protection of the connected network and power supply is provided by a proprietary DragonWave PonE power injector/Lightning Arrestor unit, into which the Ethernet cables and power feed are connected. There are two variants of the copper power injector/Lightning Arrestor unit.

Copper interface, outdoor use (see Figure 3-3)

omay be mounted on the outside wall of the network equipment building

Copper interface, indoor use, wall or rack mountable (see Figure 3-4)

omust be mounted inside the network equipment building

Figure 3-3 Outdoor Power injector/Lightning Arrestor

Figure 3-4 Indoor Power injector/Lightning Arrestor

For the Horizon Compact Plus, optical interface variant, or where PonE is not used to power the Horizon, protection of the power feed and the Ethernet connections is provided by a Lightning Arrestor unit of similar physical design to those described above. For correct installation procedures see Section 4.0.

3.3Dual Polarization Radio Mount (DPRM)

The DPRM system allows two Horizon Compact Plus units to be assembled to a single antenna. The antenna used is no different to that used for a single unit. One Horizon Compact Plus unit is mounted for horizontal polarization and the other for vertical polarization. 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.

Figure 3-5 Dual Polarization Radio Mount

3.4Power Split Radio Mount (PSRM)

For redundancy purposes, the PSRM allows two Horizon units to be mounted to a single antenna. Both units must be oriented for the same polarization and only one unit can transmit/receive at any one time. The PSRM looks similar to the DPRM shown in Figure 3-5, 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.

The benefits of the PSRM 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).

Note that redundancy is not supported in this release.

4.1Lightning Arrestor Units

The importance of protecting network and power systems from damaging voltage transients, induced by lightning and other sources, cannot be over emphasized.

DragonWave supplies four types of Lightning Arrestor Units.

Outdoor rated Lightning Arrestor with integrated power on Ethernet (PonE)

Indoor rated Lightning Arrestor with integrated power on Ethernet (PonE)

Outdoor rated Lightning Arrestor only

Indoor rated Lightning Arrestor only

All four provide protection for up to two Ethernet network cables plus redundant power feeds.

4.1.1Outdoor Lightning Arrestor Units

The Outdoor units are housed in a weatherproof plastic enclosure employing gland nut seals for cable entry. Access to network and power terminals is via a gasket sealed lid, which is secured by four retaining screws. Figure 4-1 shows the Lightning Arrestor unit with integrated PonE, with lid removed.

Figure 4-1 Outdoor Lightning Arrestor Unit with Integrated PonE Supply Feed

4.1.2Indoor Lightning Arrestor Units

The Indoor units are housed in a metal enclosure with an integral grounding lug and with direct access to network and power connection terminations.

Figure 4-2 Indoor Lightning Arrestor Unit with Integrated PonE Supply Feed

Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1

4.2Grounded Power Feeds

Where the return side of a site-supplied power feed is grounded, provision is made on all versions of the lightning arrestor units to link the return feed to the integral grounding lug on the unit. A shorting link is stored on J4. When grounding is required, this is transferred to J5 (see Figure 4-6).

Shorting link is stored on J4 and transferred to J5, as shown, when grounding is required

Figure 4-6 Grounded Power Return Link

On earlier models of both the indoor and outdoor lightning arrestors, the shorting link feature is not present. To ground the return side of the power supply for the earlier models, connect a shorting wire between the “RTN” connection on the power connection block and the grounding point on the PCB as shown in Figure 4-7.

4.3Ethernet Cabling – Copper Interface

DO NOT coil excess Ethernet cable, but fold in a zig-zag fashion whilst observing a minimum bend radius of 2 inches. The effect of lightning induced current surges in the tower or conductors adjacent to the Ethernet cable will be minimized when the Ethernet cable is folded in this way.

For the copper interface, data cabling from the Horizon Compact Plus unit to the PonE Power Injector/Lightning Arrestor consists of outdoor rated, shielded, CAT5E cables equivalent to Belden 7919A. The shielded cables require shielded RJ45 connectors. Use of standard indoor unshielded RJ45 connectors may result in a lack of lightning protection, poorly constructed cables, intermittent connections and data loss. Depending on the system configuration ordered and fielded, up to four shielded RJ45 and two unshielded RJ45 connectors are provided.

The cables terminate in a DWI Power on Ethernet (PonE) Power Injector/Lightning Arrestor unit located either outside of the building cable entry point (using the outdoor PonE unit) or inside the network equipment building (using the indoor PonE unit).

DO NOT CONNECT SHIELDED RJ45 CONNECTORS TO ETHERNET CABLES CONNECTING THE LIGHTNING ARRESTOR TO THE NETWORK SWITCH.

Note: Straight through Ethernet cables must be used between the PonE power injector and the Horizon Compact Plus. The use of a cross-over type, or incorrectly wired CAT5E cables, will cause the PonE power injector to go into an alarm condition and not power up the Horizon Compact Plus. A Status LED indicates the status of the PonE power injector (see Section 5.1.4)

The PonE unit contains Lightning Arrestors and must be grounded according to local or regional Electrical Codes. Unshielded 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 V DC (-48 V or +48 V) with a maximum current draw of 2 amperes.

If Port 2 is not being used, ensure that a protective weatherproof cap is fitted to the port receptacle.
