CABLING
The RF environment the Subscriber Module operates in often will permit use of unshielded cable.
However, in cases where cable interference issues are suspected, or as part of A/B comparisons to
debug field problems, use of shielded cable with Subscriber Modules may be warranted.

It is strongly recommended to use shielded cable for all Canopy infrastructure cabling associated
with Backhauls, Access Points, and Cluster Management Modules. The environment these
modules operate in often has significant or unknown or varying RF energy, and experience has
been that the additional cost of shielded cabling is more than compensated by predictable
operation and reduced debugging and support costs.

The following information describes the wiring standards for installing a Canopy system. All
diagrams use the EIA/TIA 568B color standard.
Currently shipping modules auto-sense the Ethernet cable type – either RJ-45 straight-thru cable or
RJ-45 crossover cable can be used to connect a network interface card (NIC), hub, router, or
switch to a module.

Very early modules did not auto-sense. In cases where older modules are used:
• When connecting a Canopy device directly to a network interface card (NIC)
use a RJ-45 straight-thru cable.
• When connecting a Canopy device directly to a hub, switch, or router use a
RJ-45 crossover cable.
When using the Canopy AC wall adapter the +V is +11.5VDC to +30VDC with a nominal value of
+24 VDC, and the maximum Ethernet cable run with the AC wall adapter is 328 feet (100 meters).
