Important: For proper sealing, the diameter of the cable jacket must be between 5 and 6 mm (0.197 and
0.236 inches).
To install the coupler use the following steps:
1. Remove or pull back the strain-relief boot from the RJ45 connector's housing.
2. Slide the sealing nut and the sealing collar onto the cable.
3. Plug the RJ45 connector into the coupler body.
4. Tighten the sealing collar onto the coupler body.
5. Place the rubber seal onto the cable between the sealing nut and sealing collar. To place the seal, open
it in the area of the cut.
6. Slide the seal into the sealing collar.
7. Tighten the sealing nut onto the sealing collar.
Important: Do not permit the cable to twist when tightening the sealing nut.
8. Repeat steps with the other cable.
