5.0 Hardware Installation
Outdoor Ethernet Gland Installation
There will be at least one cable gland included with each outdoor enclosure. Below is an image of
the individual parts of the gland with an Ethernet cable routed through.
Note: The split rubber washer allows a pre-terminated Ethernet cable to be used.
Once the cable has been routed through the weather connection, and the RJ45 connection has
been made, screw in the gland into the housing making sure it is tight enough for a water tight
seal. Push the split rubber gasket into place and loosely screw the cap that goes over the rubber
washer.

Once the gland is tight in the housing, tighten the outer nut/cap making sure the rubber seal
squeezes and seals the Ethernet cable to the gland as shown.
