Terminating and connecting the CAT-5 Cable

The High Performance Low Profile PTZ may be connected to the DOG Base Station with up to 500m of
CAT-5 cable. The Base Station end of the cable can be terminated with a standard RJ-45 male connector.
The High Performance Low Profile PTZ end of the cable must be routed through the included
weatherproof connector prior to termination. An exploded view (with part labels) of the weatherproof
connector is shown in the figure below. Referring to Figure 16, unscrew the weatherproof connector
body molding from the High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit's cable, route the end of the CAT-5
cable through the end of the body molding, and crimp on a male RJ-45 connector (not supplied).
**Make sure the cable passes through both the gland cage and the body molding.
Tighten the gland nut until the gland securely grips the cable, but do not over-tighten. Apply di-electric
grease to the RJ-45 contacts to reduce the risk of corrosion in extended use or environmentally harsh
installations. Connect the High Performance Low Profile PTZ unit's cable to the terminated cable using
the coupler. Slide the two body molding halves together and screw down the locking cap.
