- Pole Installation: Includes two U-bolts for easy mounting.
RJ-45 Gland: The device includes an RJ-45 gland for protecting the Ethernet connection.
- Assembly: The gland disassembles into a gland base, split washer, rubber seal, spacer, and cap. These components have a "clamshell" design for easy installation onto the Ethernet cable.
- Connection: The Ethernet cable is routed through the gland components and connected to the RJ-45 port on the base of the JuiceRouter. The gland is then tightened to ensure a secure and weather-resistant seal.
PoE Injector: The JuiceRouter is powered via a passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector.
- Indoor/Sealed Enclosure Requirement: The PoE injector and AC adapter are not outdoor-rated and must be installed indoors or within a sealed outdoor enclosure to prevent corrosion and damage.
- Connection Sequence: The Ethernet cable connects from the JuiceRouter to the PoE injector, and the PoE injector is then connected to power.
