The cable connector unit consists of three components—the outer connector enclosure,
the connector screw, and the cable seal. The front end of the outer cable connector
enclosure is from where the interface cable enters the router, and the rear end with
screw thread connects directly to the chassis cable port on the router. The connector
screw houses the rubber cable seal, and the screw fits tightly in the cable connector
enclosure. The cable seal is a small cylindrical rubber structure with grooves or holes
for the cables to pass through. The cable seal sits tightly in the connector screw and
prevents water and dust particles from entering the router.
NOTE: The cable seal with single groove must be used for the SFP cables,
and that with three grooves must be used for the RJ-45 cables.
