https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Wireless-Questions-and-Best/7731-on-one-polarisation/m-p/12212#M699 We have a situation where we need to replace an existing short link (about 100 metres) with some newer radios. The old radios can't pass big packets for VLANs and so on. <BR /><BR /> The problem is the cable path from the cabinet to the existing single polarised antenna is horrible - running in a 50mm pipe with other cables from the outdoor cabinet, a short distance underground and then 20 metres up a bridge pylon - and we would really like to avoid running a new cable to replace the existing CNT400 with Cat5e. <BR /><BR /> I believe being told at one stage that you can run a 7731 on one polarisation and you simply lose half the speed - does anyone know if this is correct? If so it should still work as the customer would like close to 100 Mbps, and I can't find any single polarity radio we have used before that will give close to this. <BR /><BR /> Also would I need to get a dummy 50 ohm load for the other antenna port on the 7731?
