Malibu Networks AirMAX“ CPE/BTS
• Ensure antennas between communicating AirMAX 
systems are within a 12.4 mile range (20Km). You 
can have up to 100 subscribers per CPE and up to 
100 CPEs per sector (with 500 subscribers per 
sector).
• Ensure that the overall Ethernet cabling between the 
ODU, Power Injector, and customer LAN connection 
(router/switch/etc.) is less than 300 feet total. If you 
need a longer distance, you can insert signal 
conditioning equipment between the Power Injector 
and customer equipment. The PoE cables supplied 
by Malibu are from 25 feet to 250 feet in length.
Caution:
when making actual cable connections at the 
time of installation, do not confuse the ethernet cable from 
the customer s LAN to the Power Injector which is data 
only and does not have power and the PoE Ethernet 
cable that runs between the ODU and Power Injector
which does have power. These connections are made at 
the Power Injector, which has two RJ45 connectors, and it 
is possible to plug in the wrong cable and damage 
equipment. Always check which cable you re plugging in 
when making Ethernet connections to the Power Injector. 
The correct Power Injector Ethernet connections are shown 
later in this Chapter. This manual illustrates the 
connections as the procedures are given.
• Ensure the workers installing the ODU and antennas 
are experienced installation professionals familiar 
with all local building codes and safety regulations, 
and who are licensed for the type of work being 
performed.
