Cisco Cisco Aironet 1310 Access Point Bridge Guía De Instalación

To prevent damage to the access point or power injector, connect all coax cables from the 
power injector to the access point and connect the power jack to the power injector before 
applying power.

The grounding block must be connected to the building's grounding system by # 14 AWG copper 
wire or larger.

Cut the cables to length, install F-connectors on the ends, and connect them to the grounding block.

Weather seal all coaxial connectors by wrapping them with the sealant tape provided with the installation 
kit. For more information, see the 

.

You must weather seal all coaxial connections using the Coax-Seal tape provided in the mounting kit. 
Coax connections that are not properly sealed permit moisture to enter the connection, which leads to 
performance degradation or link problems.

The following connectors must be weather sealed:

F-connectors, located at the access point and each grounding block.

R-TNC antenna connectors, when using the access point with an external antenna.

Do not use only plastic electrical tape on the connectors because it deteriorates during long-term 
exposure to ultraviolet light and extreme weather.

To apply Coax Seal, follow these steps:

Make sure that the coaxial cables, connectors, and the connector area are clean and dry.

Peel the paper backing from a 10-inch length of Coax-Seal tape.

Wrap each access point connector with the tape, starting at the coaxial cable, extending across the 
connector body, and finishing close the access point or grounding block. Overlap each turn at least 50 
percent so there is a double thickness over all areas (see 

To simplify removal of the connector in the future, you can first wrap the connector with a good 
grade of electrical tape before applying the Coax-Seal. You should tightly wrap the electrical 
tape and overlap each turn at least 25 percent for full coverage.
