Important! Shielded cables are strongly recommended for all Canopy infrastructure
cabling (between APs, BHs, and CMMs) due to the RF environment around typical
installations.
Important! The shield should be terminated on both ends of the cable.
The following materials are required for the Ethernet cables
•
RJ-45 Connectors
•
Up to 328 feet (100 meters) of Cat 5E cable.
•
Temperature range of -40°F to +131°F (-40°C to +55°C)
•
Must be rated for UV light protection
The following figures show connector pin-out and wire color information for straightthough and crossover Ethernet cables. Either straight-through or crossover cables can be
used, as the CMMmicro ports auto-sense the Ethernet termination and can handle either.
In both cases, pins 7 and 8 carry power to the Canopy modules. The straight-through
cable uses the EIA/TIA-568B wire color-code standard.
