0.89 cm)
• RJ45 connector and installation tool
• Adjustable Wrench or 28 mm box wrench
To connect the shielded Ethernet cable to the access point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect power to the power injector, and ensure all power sources to the access point are turned off.
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.

Step 2 Ensure a 6 AWG ground wire is connected to the access point (see the “Grounding the Access Point”
section on page 2-12).
Step 3 Remove the covering cap from the PoE port.
Step 4 Loosen the Thread-Lock sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counter clockwise, but do not
remove it (see
Figure 2-6).
Note Verify that the cable gland has a rubber seal and ensure that it is not damaged.
Warning
Failure to install the cable gland and rubber gasket properly will cause the cable grip to leak.
