Danger
Step 2 Ensure a 6 AWG ground wire is connected to the AP (see Grounding the Access Point, on page 66).
Step 3 Remove the covering cap from the PoE port.
Step 4 Loosen and remove the cable sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counterclockwise.
Verify that the cable gland has a rubber seal and ensure that it is not damaged.
Note
If the cable gland and rubber gasket is not installed correctly, it causes the cable grip to leak.
Caution
Step 5 Insert the Ethernet cable's unterminated end through the sealing nut end of the cable gland.
Pass the Ethernet cable through the appropriate size cable seal and pull several inches of cable through the
adapted components.
Step 6 Install an RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet cable's unterminated end using your Ethernet cable installation
tool.
Step 7 Carefully connect the RJ45 cable connector to the PoE port on the AP.
Step 8 Slide the cable gland with the rubber seal towards the AP and screw the threaded end of the body into the AP,
and hand-tighten.
Step 9 Use an adjustable wrench or a 28–mm wrench to tighten the body's threaded end into the enclosure. Tighten
to 15 lbf-in (17 kgf-cm) of torque.
Step 10 Use an adjustable wrench and tighten the thread-lock seal nut to 15 lbf-in (17 kgf-cm) of torque.
Step 11 Route your Ethernet cable and cut off any excess cable.
Step 12 Install an RJ45 connector on the unterminated cable end and insert it into the power injector.
