2.4.4 Strain Relief Assembly
 Insert A into the large tightening knob (B)
 Thread piece C to the end of A. Do not tighten completely until connected to
the WESII LAN port and power is confirmed.
 Insert the rubber grommet (D) into the open end of C
 Attach E to threaded portion of C. As E is tightened, the grommet will squeeze against
the Ethernet cable jacket. Leave E loose enough for the cable to
wiggle slightly .
 Slide Ethernet cable through the assembled strain relief unit before crimping on
the RJ45 connector.
 Strip cable and configure color code (see section 2.4.5). Use one of the LAN
port weather protection seal stickers – two are provided.
2.4.5 Configuring the Cable
 Determine the length of cable that will be required and where the PIM will be located.
Note: The total length of cable from the WESII to the Ethernet device cannot exceed
100m (325 feet), however, the PIM can be located anywhere along the overall 100m
of cable. KBC Networks recommends shielded Ethernet cables for the cable
connecting the PIM to the WESII unit. Any cable exposed to the elements should also
be outdoor rated.
 Slide the weatherproof connector over the cable jacket before crimping the
connector. See section 2.4.4 for the strain relief assembly instructions. If
needed, see below for color-code standards to configure the correct type of
Ethernet cable.
Ethernet standard straight-through cable configurations used must be configured to
one of the Ethernet standards (568-A or 568-B) in order for the WESII system to
operate efficiently. Any deviation from one of the two standard configurations can
lead to undesired activity.
