Power Supply
The AP supports 802.3af PoE or 57 V DC power supply.

• When the PoE power supply is adopted, please make sure the peer end support 802.3af/802.3at, too.
• The lowest current output requirement for a DC power supply is 0.35 A

Preparing for Installation

• To prevent device damage and physical injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations described in this chapter.
• Recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous situations.

Grounding and Lightning Protection

• Ensure that both the power-receiving end and the power-supplying end are well-grounded.
• Keep the grounding connection within 30 m, and use a 40mm x 4mm or 50mm x 5mm ground bar of hot-dip zinc-coated flat steel
• When the connection cable between the main grounding conductor and local equipotential earthing terminal board (LEB) on each floor is shorter than 2 meters, use a stranded copper wire with a sectional area not less than 1.318 mm2 (16 AWG) for the connection cable.
• Use a shielded network cable if possible, ensure that devices connected to both ends of the shielded network cable are reliably grounded, and make sure that the sheath of the shielded network cable is also grounded if possible. If no shielded network cable is available, wire the network cable through a steel pipe and bury the steel pipe for lead-in, and properly ground both ends of the steel
• No additional lightning protector is required as a high-profile lightning protector is built in the TS-MWO2400C, and the power port support 6kV lightning protection. If a lightning protector of a higher profile is available, configure the lightning protector optionally. Before the configuration, connect the lightning protector to the ground cable.
• Use a power cable with the PE end to ground the power supply (AC). Ensure that the PE end is properly grounded, with a ground resistance less than 5 ohms. Do not use a two-wire power cable with only the live (L) wire and naught (N) wire. Do not connect the N wire to the protection ground cable of other communication devices, and ensure that the L wire and N wire are properly connected.
• Ensure that the ground resistance is less than 5 ohms. In areas with high soil resistivity, reduce the soil resistivity via measures such as spreading resistivity reduction mixture around the grounding conductor.

Preparing the Installation Site

• Do not expose the AP to high temperatures, dust, or harmful gases.
• Do not install the AP in an area prone to fire or high temperatures
• Keep the AP away from EMI sources such as large radar stations, radio stations, and substations.
• Do not subject the AP to unstable voltage, vibration, and noises.
• Keep the AP at least 500 meters away from the ocean and do not face it towards the sea breeze.
• The installation site should be protected from water and flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation.
• The installation site should be selected according to network planning, communications equipment features and considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.

EMI

All interference sources (from outside or inside of the device or application system) affect the device by capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs due to electromagnetic radiation or conduction, depending on the transmission path.

Radiation interference occurs when energy (usually radio frequency energy) is emitted from a device and propagated through space to disrupt other devices. The interference source can be part of disrupted system or a fully electrically isolated unit. Conduction interference occurs when interference is transferred from one unit to another through cables, which are usually electromagnetic wires or signal cables connected between the source and the device(s) experiencing interference. Conduction interference often affects the power supply of the device. It is eliminated by using filters. Radiation interference can influence the path of any signal from the device and is difficult to shield.

• Take effective measures against interference from the power grid.
• Keep the AP far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices for power equipment.
• Keep the AP away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current devices.
• Take electrostatic shielding measures.

Fiber Connection
Before connecting fiber cables, make sure the model of the optical transceiver and fiber type match the optical port. The transmit port on the local device should be connected to the receive port on the peer device and vice versa.

Appendix A Cabling Recommendations

During installation, route cable bundles upward or downward along the sides of the rack depending on the actual situation in the equipment room. All cable connectors should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet rather than be exposed outside of the cabinet. Power cords should be routed upward or downward beside the cabinet close to the location of the DC power distribution cabinet, AC power outlet, or lightning protection box.

Required Minimum Cable Bend Radius

• The minimum bend radius of a power, communication or flat cable should be 5 times the overall diameter of the cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 7 times the overall diameter.
• The minimum bend radius of a coaxial cable should be 7 times the overall diameter of the cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 10 times the overall diameter.
• The minimum bend radius of a high-speed cable, such as an SFP+ cable should be 5 times the overall diameter of the cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 10 times the overall diameter.

Precautions for Cable Bundling

• Before bundling cables, correctly mark labels and stick the labels to cables where appropriate.

• Cables should be neatly and properly bundled, as shown in Figure C-1.
  Figure C-1    Bundling Cables

• Route and bundle power, signal, and ground cables separately. When the cables are close to each other, cross them. When power cables run parallel to signal cables, the distance between them must be greater than 30 mm.

• All cable trays and their accessories shall be smooth and free from sharp edges.

• Holes in metal, through which cables pass shall have smooth, well-rounded surfaces or be protected with insulating bushings.

• Use proper cable ties to bind cables together. Do not tie two or more cable ties to bind cables.

• Cut off excess cable tie cleanly with no sharp edges after bundling cables, as shown in Figure C-2.
  Figure C-2  Cutting off Excess Cable Tie

• If cables are to be bent, bind them first but do not tie cable ties within the bend to avoid stress on the cables, which may otherwise cause the wires inside to break, as shown in Figure C-3
  Figure C-3  Do Not Tie Cable Ties within the Bend

• Wrap up unnecessary or excess cables and bind them to the appropriate rack position, where device operation is not affected and no damages occur to the device and cables during debugging.

• Do not bind power cords to the rails for moving

• Leave a certain length of the cable connecting moving parts, such as the ground wire of the cabinet door, to avoid stress on the cable; When moving parts are in place, ensure the excess cable length shall not contact heat sources, sharp corners or If heat sources are unavoidable, use high-temperature cables instead.

• When using screws to fasten cable lugs, the bolts or nuts shall be tightened and prevented from loosening, as shown in Figure C-4.

• When using a stiff cable, fix it near the cable lug to avoid stress on the lug and cable.
• Do not use self-tapping screws to fasten terminals.
• Bundle cables of the same type and running in the same direction into groups. Keep cables clean and straight.
• Cables shall be tied according to the following table.
  Diameter of Cable Bundle (mm)| Space between Bundles (mm)
  ---|---
  10| 80 to 150
  10 to 30| 150 to 200
  30| 200 to 300
• Do not tie knots for cables or cable
• The metal parts of the cold-pressed terminal blocks, such as air circuit breakers, shall not be exposed outside of the blocks.
