Cisco Cisco Aironet 1400 Wireless Bridge Guia Da Instalação

Secure the cables to the tower along the route to the grounding block using UV-stabilized Ty-Wraps or 
equivalent fasteners.

Install service loops and connect the cables to the grounding block.

Repeat steps 2 to 6 for each cable segment between grounding blocks, except in Step 2 you must connect 
the cables to the grounding block connectors.

The grounding blocks must be directly connected (metal-to-metal) to the tower.

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 coax 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 bridge and each grounding block.

N connector, when using the bridge with an external antenna.

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

To apply Coax Seal, follow these steps:

Make sure that the cables are secure and the F-connectors are tight. Torque the connectors to 10 to 14 
in lbs.

Make sure that the coaxial cable, F-connectors, and connector areas are clean and dry.

Peel the paper backing off one of the 10 in. lengths of Coax-Seal tape.
