Connecting the Antenna Cables
Connecting the Antenna Cables
The cable configuration that you use to connect your RoamAbout AP to an outdoor antenna varies based on whether you use:
•A male or a female pigtail connector on your AP
•A Lightning Protector
The following sections show the various cable configurations.
Using the Female Pigtail
Figure 3‐19 and Figure 3‐20 show the cable configurations for using a female pigtail connector to connect an AP to an outdoor antenna.
Figure 3‐19 shows the configuration for using a Lightning Protector. Figure 3‐20 shows the configuration when not using a Lightning Protector. Table 3‐16 describes the configurations.
