AR60X Installation Manual
2.6 Cabling
The installation site should be inspected to determine the run paths for the fiber cable and power cable from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof penetration should be identified. The routing and securing of all cables should conform to all applicable codes and requirements.
Depending on the likelihood of damage due to foot traffic or equipment movement, cabling conduit may be required. The maximum cable run length as specified for the equipment being installed must not be exceeded.
The radio requires an LC type connectors on a pair of simplex multimode fibers to properly connect to the radio and the users network equipment. Singlemode fiber is not a current option supported by the radio. The network equipment end of the fibers should be terminated with connectors that match the network equipment fiber interface.
Fiber Cable Length | Cable Type |
Up to 270 meters | 62.5/125 μm |
Up to 500 meters | 50/125 μm |
Table 25: Fiber Cable Types
Each radio includes a 100240 VAC power adaptor suitable for indoor operation that converts the AC voltage from the standard electrical outlet in the wall to DC voltage. The radio requires a minimum of
15.0VDC (24.0 VDC maximum) via the power cable to the radio to function properly. When planning the cable run from the indoor mounted AC power adaptor to the radio unit, it is critical to use the cable gauge (AWG) indicated below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The electrical cable that is used outside the building must be outdoor rated (i.e., weatherprotected) providing a single pair of wires necessary to power the equipment. The required DC power cable is 12 or14 gauge, 2 wire (i.e., 12/2 or 14/2) rated for outdoor use.

DC Cable Length | Cable Jacket (minmax)* | Conductor size |
| 0.14 – 0.36 inches | 14 AWG |
Up to 125 meters | (3.6 – 9.2mm) | (2.5mm2) |
| 0.17 – 0.45 inches | 12 AWG |
Up to 200 meters | (4.3 – 11.9mm) | (4mm2) |
