An E&M trunk cable can be a shielded or an unshielded cable.
- If a shielded network cable is used as the E&M trunk cable, the local and remote devices can be directly connected using this cable.
- If an unshielded network cable is used as the E&M trunk cable and does not need to be led outdoors, the local and remote devices can be directly connected using this cable.
- If an unshielded network cable is used as the E&M trunk cable and needs to be led outdoors, the local and remote devices must be connected using a cable management strip. For details on how to connect the devices through a cable management strip, see "(Optional) Installing a Cable Management Strip and a Protective Unit" in Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide of the required router.
Connection
An E&M trunk cable is connected as follows:
- The RJ45 connector is connected to the E&M interface of the local router.
- The other end is connected to the remote device through a network cable or cable management strip.
