Cabling and Weather Considerations

Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations. The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to
be grounded if the radio itself is grounded. It is important to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if
exposed to the weather (especially direct sunlight). It is recommended that installers place all Cat-5 cables inside conduit.
Plastic conduit is sufficient. If metal conduit is used, it is not necessary to use shielded Cat-5 cable.

Proper mounting of the radio includes
consideration for grounding. Please note that if the
radio is attached to a metal pole that is earth-
grounded, no other grounding is necessary. If the
radio is not earth-grounded via the mounting
bracket, you must attach a grounding wire to the
grounding stud on the back of the radio as in the
adjacent diagram.
