E.2 Choose the Correct Soft Plug
Only one soft plug is used when building the connector. Measure the diameter of your Ethernet cable and
choose the one that is correct for that diameter. This is important for getting a sealed connection.
• Red plug is for cable 7.0 - 8.1 mm diameter.
• Black plug is for cable 5.0 - 6.0 mm diameter

E.3 Pre-thread Before Termination
Three WAPV parts (cap, soft plug, inner shell) must be pre-threaded onto the not-yet-terminated end of
the Ethernet cable. In this example, the red soft plug is used because this Ethernet cable’s diameter is 7
mm. Note that one end of the soft plug is wider. The wider end of the soft plug faces the cap. The narrow-
er end faces the inner shell.
