around generators, fans and fluorescent lights. When cable has to
be installed in the false ceilings or air space above a work area
(plenum), plenum cable may be required.
3. Even though the RJ45 connectors used to build ethernet cables are
typically the same on both ends, the connector supplied in the kit
MUST be used on the instrument end.
4. If STP wire is needed, the RJ45 required for wire termination is
metal-jacketed and provides a grounding point for the cable’s
shield. Only one end of the cable should be grounded. This
provides a shield to block electrical noise from entering the wire. If
both ends of the cable are grounded, a ground loop may be created
and cause failures of the attached equipment. Because hubs or
data-gathering devices typically use grounded connector housings,
the hub end is usually best for the ground connection. Check with
the local IT (Information Technology) personnel for specific wire
termination and installation details.
Procedure
1. Remove 1-1/2-inch to two-inches of insulation from the instrument
end of the cable, taking extreme care to not nick or cut the
individual wires. Do NOT strip the individual wires.
2. Remove the contents of the Industrial RJ45 connector from the
package - do NOT dispose of or lose any pieces. Compare the
contents with Figure 3-1. Contact Lighthouse Support if it appears
that something is missing from the package.
