Description:
This document describes the two connectors on an AirLancer Extender SA-5L and AirLancer Extender SA-LAN.
AirLancer Extender SA-5L:
An AirLancer Extender SA-5L is used to reduce over-voltages on the antenna cable.
The AirLancer Extender SA-5L has two connectors and is positioned between the access point and the antenna:
1) N-connector for connection to the antenna (unprotected section)
2) N-connector for connection to the access point (protected section)
Connecting to the access point
- First, connect the end of the adapter cable to the N-connector of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L. Then connect the other end of the adapter cable to the access point's antenna output.
Connecting to the antenna
- For the connection to the antenna, first connect one end of the antenna cable to the N-connector of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L. Then connect the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna's input.
Grounding of the AirLancer SA-5L
- The mounting of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L must be sufficiently earthed so that any over-voltages can be conducted away to the building's earthing system.
- To ground the AirLancer Extender SA-5L, a cable lug should be fixed with a nut to the protected side of the over-voltage adapter. Earthing can be implemented as follows depending on the application:
- For access points installed indoors, the potential load is equalized via the building's grounding line by PE cable (protective earth cable, 1.5 mm² Cu).
- For an access point mounted outdoors, its ground and the ground of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L are connected via the potential-equalization lead (16 mm² Cu) of the mast or of the antenna, e.g. via the antenna mounting clamps.
AirLancer Extender SA-LAN:
An AirLancer Extender SA-LAN can be used to reduce possible over-voltages on the Ethernet or PoE cable.
The AirLancer Extender SA-LAN has two connectors and is positioned between the access point and the LAN:
The SA-LAN is used to interconnect the protected section on the LAN side and the unprotected section on the access point side.
The SA-LAN is labeled so that you can tell which side is protected or unprotected.
