2.3.5.1 Fabricating a Weatherproof Ethernet Cable

Comtech EF Data offers two mating connector kits:
• Use CEFD P/N KT-0020707 for 5.00-5.75 mm jacket OD Ethernet cables.
• Use CEFD P/N KT-0020708 for 5.75-6.50 mm jacket OD Ethernet cables.
Do these steps to assemble a weatherproof cable (see Figure 2-4):
1. Thread the user-supplied RJ-45 CAT5e Ethernet cable (Item 1) through the
Item 2 components (Items 2.3 through 2.6). Be sure to note the order and
orientation of all kit items before final assembly of the components.
2. Crimp the RJ-45 modular plug (Item 2.1) onto Item 1. Be sure to maintain
the cable wiring per the Note 3 wiring table.
3. Snap Item 2.1 into the Ethernet Shroud (Item 2.2). Then, snap Item 2.2
into the Latched Housing (Item 2.3).
4. Slide the Sealing Gland (Item 2.4) into its seated position in Item 2.3.
5. Slide the Compression Cage (Item 2.5) onto Item 2.4.
6. Screw the Cable Nut (Item 2.6) into assembled position against Item 2.3.
(Be sure the mating surfaces of the Latched Housing and Cable Nut are
touching.) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
