2. Feed the CAT 5 cable through the grommet (for each side). If the RJ-45 connector is
already crimped to the other end, ensure that you have fed the cable through the gland
nut beforehand. The gland nut secures the cable to the grommet.
3. Strip about 0.25" (6.35 mm) of the cable sheath and expose about 0.03" (0.8 mm) of
the strands/wires.
4. Secure the wires to the protector's terminal block using the two spot ties. Each side of
the data and DC assembly has + or – markings to ensure lines entering (surge side)
match lines exiting ( protected side).
5. Mount and ground the protector outdoors with the provided 2 x 8-32 screws according
to the fixing template illustrated in Figure 5 5 (showing distances between centers of the two
mounting holes). The unit may be mounted/grounded on a nearby plate or bulkhead panel that
is bonded to an earth-ground system.
6. Attach the protector's lid by using the four M4 x 20-mm screws. Ensure that the
neoprene gasket on the lid is not loose or out of the groove.
7.
Secure the CAT 5 cable to the grommet by fastening the gland nut.
Note: The protector unit must be grounded to a low-impedance (low R and low L)
ground system in order for it to operate properly.
