Using the RJ45 cable gland (optional)
Cable extension options
The pre-attached RJ45 cable gland covers both the camera’s Ethernet connector and the RJ45 plug
to provide weather-resistance and protection from dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants.
You can extend the Ethernet cable run for your camera up to 300ft (91m). To extend the cable run
beyond 300ft (91m), a switch will be required (sold separately). Use an RJ45 coupler or a network
switch (not included) to connect male ends of Ethernet cables together. We recommend using
UL CMR approved cables available at lorex.com .
To use the RJ45 cable gland, twist the RJ45 cable gland barrel securely onto the camera’s
Ethernet connector.

Tip: The RJ45 cable gland is
weather-resistant. Seal the cap
with silicone and/or electrical tape
for additional sealing if it will be
exposed to precipitation regularly.
