[WISPA] Alvarion VL on AM Tower
I'm thinking about deploying a Alvarion VL 4 system on one of my towers, and I'd like to use the indoor chassis at the base. However, the tower is a non-live (i.e. its got an insulated antenna from the tower) at 5000 watts. I have AC power at the top but I'd like to use the IDU/ODU system that Alvarion uses. Is there a form of shielded cat5 I can use that will block the RF pickup up the tower? Normally a cat5 cable will instantly fry a network port unless it's somehow filtered. AC is easy to filter - a choke on the top and bottom solves the problem. But DC power, is what I'm concerned with. Has anyone addressed an issue like this?

If you're in a pinch, Radio Shack part # 273-105 works. Mouser and other part suppliers carry them as well for cheaper (not sure on part #'s though, sorry).

RE: [WISPA] Alvarion VL on AM Tower
So that just goes around the outside of the cable, like they have on monitors? Will that protect the ethernet and power at the same time? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham McIntire Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 1:56 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL on AM Tower If you're in a pinch, Radio Shack part # 273-105 works.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL on AM Tower
Correct, ideally you should place one at each end of the cable, right before it's terminated. They just clamp over the cable itself and help reduce spurious RF by turning it in to heat before it gets to your equipment. If you're need to chock the cat5 and power line, I'd use a single ferrite choke at the end of each cable (they're cheap). That should help cut down substantially on outside interference on the cables.
