Weatherproof the Ethernet Port
While the Ethernet cable is secured, it is recommended to provide additional
weatherproofing as follows:
1. Starting as close as possible to the wireless terminal body, wrap splicing tape tightly
over the bulkhead-end and work towards the Ethernet cable. Stretch and wind the
tape back along the Ethernet port nut. Do not leave any gaps in the coverage. It is
recommended to apply a minimum of three (3) layers of splicing tape.
2. Mold mastic putty tightly around the bulkhead.
3. Wrap the entire port assembly with three (3) layers of PVC tape.
Seal both ends of the assembly with cable ties to prevent unravelling of the PVC
tape. Do not over-tighten the cable ties, as this may compromise the weather seal.
This completes the weatherproofing procedure.
