Using the RJ45 cable gland (optional)
The pre-attached RJ45 cable gland covers both the camera's Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug
to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants.
To use the RJ45 cable gland, twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera's
Ethernet connector.

Cable extension options
You can extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft (91m). To extend the cable run
beyond 300ft (91m), a switch will be required (sold separately). Use an RJ45 coupler or a network
switch (not included) to connect male ends of Ethernet cables together. We recommend using
UL CMR approved cables available at lorex.com.
