Please make sure the access point is secured in case of falling down.
3.5 Installing the Cable
Installing the Ethernet Cable
(1) A cable gland assembly includes four components: A (adapter base), B (split gasket), C (grommet), D
(compression cap).
(2) Insert the unterminated end of an Ethernet cable through part D, C, B and A in sequence. Install an RJ-45
connector on the unterminated end of the Ethernet cable. Carefully insert the RJ-45 connector into the
Ethernet port of the access point. Thread A (adapter base) into the Ethernet port. Slide B (split gasket) and
C (grommet) along the cable, pressing firmly to seat B (gasket) completely into C (grommet).
(3) Tighten D (compression cap) until C (grommet) and B (gasket) compress on to the cable and provide cable
strain relief. Use a waterproof tape to tighten the cable gland.

Warning
The waterproof tape is not included in the package contents.
Avoid a small bend radius at the connector.
You are not advised to use an Ethernet cable with an RJ45 boot. The Ethernet cable’s diameter should
range from 5 mm to 6 mm (0.20 in. to 0.24 in.). The cable gland cannot hold a cable with a diameter
beyond this range.
If you want to use an SFP transceiver (optional accessory), the cable gland can only hold the LC to LC
fiber-optic cable with a diameter ranging from 2.8 mm to 3.2 mm (0.11 in. to 0.13 in.).
When removing the cable gland, proceed in the reverse order of the installation. Start by loosening D
(compression cap). Otherwise, the Ethernet cable may be damaged.
Installing the Grounding Cable
The grounding cable is made on site. Insert the stripped end of the grounding cable into the open end of the
grounding lug. Use the crimping tool to secure the grounding cable in the grounding lug. Connect the other
end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground.
The grounding screw hole is near the SFP port.
Trim the power cord on site, avoiding wasting the cord.
