Insert the arranged core wires into an RJ45 connector according to the pin
assignments and crimp the connector with the crimping tool.

Before crimping, ensure that the core wires are fully inserted in the RJ45
connector.
Terminating a Ground Cable with an OT Terminal
Strip the ground cable.
A: OT terminal
B: ground cable
C: exposed cable conductor
L1: length of the exposed cable
When you are skillful, you can determine L1
based on the length of the OT terminal lug.
When striping off the insulation layer of the
ground cable, take care not to damage or nick
the metal conductor of the cable.

Strip off the braid shield and cut
the aluminum foil and unwanted
materials.
Cut the core wires neatly.
Terminate a connector on the other end of the network cable, and then test the cable
for continuity using a network cable tester.
The pin assignments of the connectors at the two ends must be the same. Outdoor
network cables are straight-through cables.
Outdoor network
cable
Generally, straight-through cables are used with the RTN 360.
Crossover cables are required only when the BTS3902E and BTS3202E
supplies power over Ethernet to the RTN 360. In this case, the pin
assignments of the connector at the other end are as follows:
Fit the exposed cable into the OT terminal.
Ensure that the cable conductor does not
protrude more than 2 mm from the OT terminal.
Arrange the core wires according to the pin assignments and cut them
neatly (exposing a length of 12 mm).
