Abstract:
A configurable connector is provided for a communication device, such as a gateway, that is located outdoors. The connector can engage with a corresponding interface of the gateway to provide communication signals and power signals to the communication device. The connector can be configured to select the power type provided to the communication device via the connector. The connector can have a first configuration to provide a first power type to the communication device or a second configuration to provide a second power type to the communication device. In the first configuration of the connector, power terminals of the connector can be connected directly to corresponding power wires providing the first power type. In the second configuration, the power terminals of the connector can be connected by jumpers to supplemental terminals in the connector that receive the second power type from the communication device.
