Step 6: Weatherproof RJ45 Connectors
The following steps explain how to weatherproof the RJ45 connector:
1. Use a straight-through cable (Cat5/5e or better) with one end bare.
2. Connect the crimped RJ45 connector end of the cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port inside the enclosure. The cable
connector should latch into the Ethernet port.
3. Slide the Flat Washer (A) into the Connector Body (B) to make it waterproof and onto the bare end of the cable. Next,
fasten the Connector Body into the Ethernet connector hole on the device.
4. Slide the tube-shaped Compression Washer (C) into the Compression Ring (D) and onto the cable from the bare end,
and insert into the fixed Connector Body.
5. Slide the Sealing Nut (E) over the bare end of the cable and fasten it on the fixed Connector Body.
6. Crimp the bare end of the cable with RJ45 connector and connect it to the LAN+DC port on the PoE Injector.
Additional Weatherproofing Steps
To add an additional layer of protection to the connectors against the environment, see
Step 7: Plug in the Cables
