2.1.2 Cabling Requirements
Ensure that your power connection cable matches the EtherHaul power
connector pin-outs. See Figure 2-3 for the DC power connector pin-out
diagram.
Install the EtherHaul ODU where network connections and optional power
cabling are ready for operation and easily accessible.
All cabling connected to the ODU should be outdoor-grade, with UV
protection.
Use a 2-wire cable (14-18 AWG) to connect the power supply to the ODU.
Shielded outdoor Cat5e cables terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors
should be used.
In order to protect indoor equipment, surge protection circuits must be
installed on all copper cables (DC and Ethernet) on their entrance to the
building.
Install the EtherHaul ODU in a location where proper electrical outdoor
grounding is readily available. Typically, the grounding connection is
attached directly to the mounting pole. If not already present, then suitable
structure-to-earth grounding connections must be created before
installation. Ground the ODU using a minimum quantity of 16AWG
grounding cable or according to local electrical code.
