1: RJ45 plug

2: Protective cap

Skip this step if a standard network cable with RJ45 plug is prepared.

step 2 Unscrew the swivel nut from the communication module and take out the inner sealing ring.

step 3 Unscrew the housing from the communication module.

step 4 Thread the network cable through the swivel nut and gasket. Afterwards, route the cable into

the opening of the sealing. Finally, insert the cable through the housing.
