Assemble and Weatherproof Ethernet Port Connection

The Redline outdoor Ethernet cable is terminated with a non-hooded RJ-45 connector.
This connects to the metal RJ-45 connector located on the wireless terminal enclosure.
When connecting the outdoor Ethernet cable to the wireless terminal, ensure the RJ-45
plug is fully inserted and locked into the socket. Test the locking function by applying a
very light pulling pressure (two fingers) on the cable.

Ethernet Port Gland

The Ethernet port is protected by a weatherproof gland. The Ethernet cable must be
threaded through the connector components and the connector and re-assembled. The
Ethernet
weatherproofing must be applied (see following pages).
Use the following steps to connect the Ethernet cable. The connector assembly is
provided as a separate item in the shipping container.
1. Remove the connector from the packaging and arrange the individual components in
the order displayed in the diagram.
2. Insert Ethernet cable through the sealing nut (4), seal (3), body (2) and gasket (1).
3. Connect the Ethernet cable connector to the RJ-45 socket. Inserting the RJ-45 plug
into the socket should produce an audible 'click' from the locking mechanism.
4. Position the gasket (1) against the Ethernet port.
5. Thread the body (2) onto the Ethernet port. The body must be finger-tight plus 1/2
turn (approximately 47 N-m (35 ft-lb)).
6. Two sizes of split seals (3) are provided to accommodate single and double shielded
cables. Choose the seal that fits tightly on the cable without distorting. Slide the split
seal along the Ethernet cable until it is tight against the body (2).
7. Thread the sealing nut (4) on to the body. The sealing nut must be finger-tight plus
1/2 turn. This is approximately 47 N-m (35 ft-lb).
8. Weatherproof the Ethernet port (see instructions on following page).
