WARNINGS!
This is a Class 1 laser product.
The laser radiates when the system is open and the
interlocks are bypassed.
Ruckus Wireless products must be installed, serviced and
replaced by a professional installer.
WARNING!
Mounted equipment must be grounded. If the fiber node
mounting bracket is not grounded, then you must ground
the mounted equipment by connecting a customer-
supplied ground wire to the grounding lug on one
mounted device, and then connecting the other end to a
reliable earth ground. If you are uncertain if suitable
grounding is available, then contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician.
WARNING!
A short-circuit backup protection device must be
connected to AC-powered equipment according to local
or national electrical codes.

STEP 1: COLLECTING AP MAC ADDRESSES
A. Write down the MAC address (12 alphanumeric digits)
from the outside of the AP and FN case(s).
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BASE AND
DUAL-SLIDE ADAPTER PLATE
A. Using the 5mm (3/16”) hex driver, loosen the two
captive screws (A) holding the two device mounting
brackets (B) to the dual-slide adapter plate (C).
Remove the device mounting brackets and set aside
until later in this procedure.
B. Secure the mounting base to the pole with hose
clamps. Torque the hose clamp adjusting screws to
3.1 N.m (27 in-lbs).
C. Loosely install the extension arm and dual-slide
adapter plate to the mounting base using M8 bolts
and washers.
D. Adjust the extension arm and dual-slide adapter plate
to the azimuth and orientation required by the AP.
Torque the M8 bolts to 13.6 N.m (120 in-lbs).
E. If your AP is equipped with a safety cable, then thread
the safety cable around the hanger mount (A) and
thread the eye end through the loop end (B).
STEP 3: ASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
AND THE FIBER NODE AND/OR ACCESS POINT
A. If you are mounting an AP, and the AP already has an
AP mounting bracket attached, then remove the
bracket.
B. Using the supplied flathead screws, attach the FN or
AP to a device mounting bracket with the cable
glands pointing down and/or toward the pole. Clean
oil and grease off the screw threads, apply Loctite to
the screw threads, and tighten the screws to 4.52 N.m
(40 in-lbs).
STEP 4: (OPTIONAL) INSTALLING THE
CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED FOTC (FIBER OPTIC TRUNK
CABLE)
If you are not using a customer-supplied FOTC, then skip
this step and continue with Step 5: Installing the Fiber
Node and/or Access Point.
If you are using a customer-supplied FOTC:
C. Remove the factory-supplied cable gland from the FN
(A).
D. Assemble the M25-to-5/8" thread adapter with O-ring
and the strain relief cable connector (A). Make sure
the O-ring stays on the thread adapter.
E. Feed the connectorized fibers through the cable
gland opening.
F. Screw the thread adapter and strain relief cable
connector assembly into the cable gland opening (B).
G. Tighten the thread adapter and strain relief cable
connector assembly until the O-ring is compressed.

STEP 5: INSTALLING THE FIBER NODE AND/OR
ACCESS POINT
A. If you are mounting a Fiber Node, then continue with
Step B. If you are mounting an AP, then continue with
Step D.
B. Slide the FN enclosure and device mounting bracket
assembly onto the dual-slide adapter plate, clean oil
and grease off the screw threads, apply Loctite to the
screw threads, and tighten the two captive screws (A)
to 3.38 N.m (30 in-lbs).
C. If required, repeat Step 5: Installing the Fiber Node
and/or Access Point. When you have mounted the
last of the APs and FNs, continue with Step 6:
Installing the Fiber Optic Cable.
D. Slide the AP enclosure and device mounting bracket
assembly onto the dual-slide adapter plate, clean oil
and grease off the screw threads, apply Loctite to the
screw threads, and tighten the two captive screws
(with captive springs) to 3.38 N.m (30 in-lbs).
E. If required, then repeat Step 5: Installing the Fiber
Node and/or Access Point. When you have mounted
the last of the APs and FNs, continue with Step 6:
Installing the Fiber Optic Cable.
STEP 6: INSTALLING THE FIBER OPTIC CABLE
A. Open the fiber enclosure by loosening the four
captive fasteners on the enclosure lid.
B. Insert the fiber optic cable through the cable gland
and prepare the fiber cable with the supplied shield
bond connector. Install the shield bond connector per
the manufacturer’s instructions (Scotchlok 4460-D\FO
Shield Bond Connector).
C. Attach the ground wire to the shield bond connector
and then secure the connector to the fiber enclosure
with wire ties.
D. Wind “out of service” fibers around the left fiber
spool. Secure fibers to the enclosure with wire tie.
E. Wind the “in service” fiber around the right fiber
spool and the insert fiber connector into mating
sleeve.
F. Ensure the weather seal gasket on the enclosure lid is
not damaged or out of position. Close lid and torque
the four captive screws to 3.38 N.m (30 in-lbs).
STEP 7: INSTALLING THE MEDIA CONVERTER
A. Open the fiber enclosure by loosening the four
captive fasteners on the enclosure lid.
B. Make sure that the PoE Splitter is set to 12V (A).
C. Place the media converter unit into the fiber
enclosure. Secure the unit to the enclosure by
torquing the six M3 captive screws to 0.8 N.m
(7 in-lbs).

D. Insert the Ethernet patch cables through the cable
glands and into the PoE Splitter and Media Converter
as shown.
E. Tighten the cable glands until the grommets
compress around the patch cables.
F. Insert the SFP Optics into the Media Converter and
connect the fiber patch cable from the mating sleeve.
Route the fiber patch cable under the Ethernet patch
cables as shown.
G. Ensure the weather seal gasket on the enclosure lid is
not damaged or out of position. Close the lid and
torque the four captive screws to 3.38 N.m (30 in-lbs).
STEP 8: INSTALLING THE ACCESS POINT
A. Connect the Ethernet patch cables from the Fiber
Node to the Access Point as shown. Tighten the cable
glands until the grommets compress around the
patch cables.
B. If your AP is equipped with a safety cable, then:
• Attach the eye end of the safety cable using the
factory-supplied ground screw as described in the
AP user documentation, and then torque the
screw to 3.38 N.m (30 in-lbs).
--OR--
• Obtain a customer-supplied set of stainless steel
12mm M6x1 panhead Phillips screws with split
lock and flat washers, attach the eye end of the
safety cable to the ground screw point on the
fiber node case (A), and then torque the screw to
3.38 N.m (30 in-lbs).
You have completed mounting the Fiber Node kit.
