Step 3: Assemble the Cable
You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG CAT5e/CAT6 cable to the Power-over-Ethernet port on the lower side of
the unit. Proxim greatly simplifies this assembly process by offering pre-assembled RJ45 terminated, UV Rated, STP
CAT5e/CAT6 cable kits in 25m, 50m, and 75m lengths (part numbers 76590, 76591, and 76592, respectively).
Weatherproof caps are supplied but not pre-assembled.
1. Slide the sealing nut (E) over the bare end of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
2. Slide the tube-shaped compression washer (C) into the compression ring (D) and onto the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
3. Insert the flat washer (A) into the connector body (B) to make it waterproof and screw the connector body into the
Ethernet connector hole.
4. Terminate the RJ45 connectors to both ends of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and test for proper wiring (cable should be a
straight-through cable).
5. Slide the Cat5e/Cat6 cable through the Ethernet connector body (B) in to the Ethernet jack inside the enclosure. The
cable connector should latch into the jack.
6. Thread the sealing nut (E) onto the connector body (B) and hand tighten it to make a waterproof compression around
the cable.
NOTE:
• The cable must feed through all parts of the weatherproof cap before the RJ45 is crimped on the outdoor
Ethernet cable.
• The cable between the power injector and the unit must be a straight-through Ethernet cable (without
crossover).
• Due to variance in CAT5e/CAT6 cable diameter, termination techniques of the installer, and the application of
proper tightness of the connectors, it is strongly recommended that all cable connectors are secured by
external weatherproofing.
