Connecting the Antenna Cables
To connect your RoamAbout AP to an outdoor antenna installation, you
need the following components pictured on the right side of this page:
A = RoamAbout Pigtail Connection (50 cm)
B = RoamAbout Lightning Protector
C = Low-Loss Antenna Cable
D = Outdoor Antenna Cable
The Pigtail Connection (A) connects the PC Card to the Lightning Protector
(B).

Antenna Cable Route

The cable should not be installed into tight positions, as bending or appl ying
excessive force to the connectors may damage the antenna cable. Always
allow the cable to bend naturally around corners. The recommended bend
radius is 25 mm (1 in.).
The low-loss antenna cable must be secured along its complete length. No
part of the cable should be allowed to hang free. This is particularly important for cable
parts that are installed outdoors. The antenna cables and cable connectors are not designed
to withstand excessive force:
•Do not use connectors as cable grips to pull cable through raceways or conduits.
•Do not use cable connectors to support the weight of the cable during or after
installation.
•Do not use tools to tighten connectors (finger-tighten only).
NOTE: Shortening the antenna cables voids the Warranty
and may conflict with radio certifications and/or approvals.
