Notes:. ▪ The.cable.must.feed.through.all.parts.of.the.weatherproof.cap.before.the. RJ45.is.crimped.on.the.outdoor.Ethernet.a.cable.. ▪ The.cable.between.the.power.injector.and.the.unit.must.be.a.straight- through.Ethernet.cable.(without.crossover). ▪ Due.to.variance.in.CAT5.cable.diameter,.termination.techniques.of.the. installer,.and.the.application.of.proper.tightness.of.the.connectors,.it. is.strongly.recommended.that.the.CAT5.cable.connector.and.the.serial. connector cap are further secured by external weatherproofing (in addition to the antenna N connector, where applicable). Butyl weatherproofing tape is.the.preferred.material.for.securing.any.external.connector.

Note: On.R1.versions,.connect.the.cable.to.the.port.labeled.“J1.Antenna”.on.the. power.injector.(not.pictured)..This.port.has.48.VDC.power.on.the.RJ45. Attach.the.other.end.of.the.CAT5.cable.with.RJ45.connector.to.the.Power. and Ethernet port on the back of the unit (see the following figure). Note that the first attachment of this cable is meant to verify operation and configure the unit; the final attachment (with proper torque values) and weatherproofing are to be done after the unit has been installed in the location.at.which.it.will.operate.(See Step 7: Complete Installation).
