Chapter 1      Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosures
Rugged Enclosure End Caps
Each Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosure has two end caps: an antenna end cap that connects to the back of 
the enclosure, and an I/O end cap that connects to the front of the enclosure. The port configurations of 
the I/O end caps vary, based on the contents of the enclosure. For example, the number and location of 
antenna ports installed on the antenna end cap depend on how many WMICs are installed in the 
enclosure.
Note
To prevent exposure to the elements, we recommend using the protective port covers (provided) on ports 
that are not in use and using port covers (provided) on the mating cables.
Antenna End Cap
The antenna end cap has four antenna ports on the flat side and two ports on the top surface. The end cap 
is used with the Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure or the Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure. The antenna ports 
are connector type RP-TNC. Each RP-TNC is connected internally to a WMIC. Typically, two antenna 
ports are used to support each WMIC. If fewer than three WMICs are installed, the unused antenna 
connector ports are sealed with a cap to protect them from the environment.

Note
By default, the Cisco 3205 WMIC uses the right antenna to receive and transmit data.
