Rugged Enclosure End Caps; Antenna End Cap - Cisco 3200 Series Hardware Reference Manual

Chapter 1 Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosures

Rugged Enclosure End Caps

Each Cisco 3200 Rugged Enclosure has two end caps: an antenna end cap that connects to the back of
the enclosure, and an I/O end cap that connects to the front of the enclosure. The port configurations of
the I/O end caps vary, based on the contents of the enclosure. For example, the number and location of
antenna ports installed on the antenna end cap depend on how many WMICs are installed in the
enclosure.
Note To prevent exposure to the elements, we recommend using the protective port covers (provided) on ports
that are not in use and using port covers (provided) on the mating cables.

Antenna End Cap

The antenna end cap has four antenna ports on the flat side and two ports on the top surface. The end cap
is used with the Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure or the Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure. The antenna ports
are connector type RP-TNC. Each RP-TNC is connected internally to a WMIC. Typically, two antenna
ports are used to support each WMIC. If fewer than three WMICs are installed, the unused antenna
connector ports are sealed with a cap to protect them from the environment.

Note By default, the Cisco 3205 WMIC uses the right antenna to receive and transmit data.
