5.1.2. Best practice for shielded CAT5/6 connectors
Figure 5. Shielded CAT5/6 connector
Use only professional-quality, outdoor-rated, RF-shielded cables in
conjunction with Fluidmesh radio transceivers.
Assemble all shielded CAT5/6 connectors to the following standards:
• Only use shielded RJ45 Ethernet connectors.
• When inserting each connector into a shielded Ethernet port, the
connector's inner jacket must form a positive contact with the
Ethernet port.
• When each RJ45 connector is plugged into the correct Ethernet
port of the Cisco FM3500 Endo, lock the bottom of the RJ45
connector using the side retaining screws.
• When all RJ45 connectors are connected to the unit, make sure
that the bottom cover of the unit is correctly secured to the unit
enclosure.
5.1.3. Cisco FM3500 Endo Status and link LEDs
Unit and link quality status
The front panel of the Cisco FM3500 Endo (as seen below) contains
seven LEDs. The panel is used to check the unit status and wireless link
quality status.

to electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is extremely important that
all shielded CAT5/6 connectors are assembled according to the
standards and directives in this section.
