Cables

 

 

Straight CAT5 Gauge 24-shielded outdoor rated cable must be installed between Outdoor Unit and 
Indoor  Outlet.  The  cable  should  be  UV  resistant,  flame  retardant,  UL  listed  and  contain  at  least  4 
twisted pairs.  
 
The outdoor cables scheme is given in 

Appendix A 

– 

Outdoor Cables Scheme. 

The Indoor PoE Outlet side and Outdoor Unit side are crimped using RJ-45 tool. 
__________________________________________________________________________________ 

CAT5 cable must not exceed 300 feet (91 meters). 

__________________________________________________________________________________ 
The Outdoor Unit side will be assembled according to the following steps  

• Insert seal bracket (grommet clamping plate) on the cable. 
• Insert rubber seal (grommet) on the cable. 
• Crimp the RJ-45 Plug.

 

 

 

Figure: Cable preparation for Outdoor Unit 

 

• Insert the RJ-45 to the Outdoor Unit. 
• Insert NC-6 screws with spring washer to the seal bracket.
