10.7.3 Miscellaneous supplies

The following miscellaneous supplies will be required:
•
Cable ties, cable cleats – for securing cables
•
Self-amalgamating tape – to weatherproof the RF connectors
•
PVC tape – for additional protection of the RF connectors and securing cables

10.7.4 Mounting the Connectorized PTP 300 Series Bridge

A Connectorized PTP 300 Series bridge is shipped with the same bracket as supplied with an
Integrated unit. Details on the use of this bracket can be found in Section 2.12 "Mounting
Brackets". The PTP 300 Series Bridge should be mounted in a position that gives it maximum
protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for making off the various
connections and applying the recommended weatherproofing.
When using dual polar antennas the Connectorized PTP 300 Series bridge should be
mounted in such a position as to minimize the cable length, keeping losses to a minimum,
taking into account the minimum cable lengths required by the FCC regulations, see Section
16.3.8 "PTP 58300 FCC Antenna Restrictions".
When using separate antennas the Connectorized PTP 300 Series Bridge should be mounted
in such a position as to minimize both cable runs between the unit and the antennas. It is not
necessary to mount the Connectorized PTP 300 Series Bridge at the mid point between the
antennas.

10.7.5 Mounting the antennas

The Antennas should be mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Actual
antenna position will depend on the available mounting positions and link requirements. It
may be necessary to mount the antennas 20m apart or at a certain distance from the ground
to get the desired results.
