The IXrouter3 comes with a female 4-pin plug-in connector with screw connection (type:
Weidmuller BL 5.08/04/180 SN BK BX). The optimal wire diameter is 1.5mm² (16AWG - 12AWG).

Beware
You have to use the 4-pin plug-in connector included in the IXrouter3 packaging when wiring
the IXrouter3. Failing to do so is considered "improper use", meaning that any damages as a
direct result of this are not covered by warranty.
