CPE7000 Outdoor Dual Mode - Quick Installation Guide
Preparing and Connecting the Cable
Use only Category 5E 4x2x24# FTP outdoor cables from an approved manufacturer. The cable provides pin-to-pin
connection on both ends.
1. Prepare the cable: Use a crimp tool for RJ-45 connectors to prepare the wires. Insert them into the appropriate pins and
use the tool to crimp the connector. Make sure to do the following:
A. Remove as small a length as possible of the external jacket. Verify that the external jacket is well inside the sealing cover
when connected to the unit, to ensure good sealing.
B. Pull back the shield drain wire before inserting the cable into the RJ-45 connector, to ensure a good connection with the
connector's shield after crimping.
2. Connect the cable (see Figure 3):
A. Remove the sealing gland plug from the gland nut.
B. Open the sealing gland nut and remove it. Do not disassemble the gland base from the bracket.
C. Insert the cable into the sealing gland base and connect it to the RJ-45 connector at the bottom of the ODU, labeled. Make
sure that the connector is completely inserted and tightened.
D. Insert the rubber bushing on the cable into the gland base.
