⿎ LAN cable connection
When you connect a LAN cable to the Ethernet port, attach
the ferrite core included to a position as close as possible
to the Ethernet port on the LAN cable controller side.
For LP-GS series, if the ferrite core diameter is too large
for the cable width, fix the ferrite core using a tie band.
For LP-RC/LP-RF/LP-RV series, turn the LAN cable 3
times around the ferrite core as shown in the figure.
