b. Method #2: Grounding via the Ethernet Injector mounting tabs
1. Mount AC-EI on a sturdy surface. Preferably a metallic surface with good
electrical connection to chassis ground.
2. Use the provided grounding cable or an equivalent with terminated
connectors matching assembly requirements; 14AWG or thicker gauge
and a max length of 2 feet.
(Figure 4)
3. Locate a grounding point inside the vehicle within reach of the grounding
wire
4. Secure the loose end of the grounding wire to the vehicle chassis
(Figure 5)
5. Secure the Ethernet Injector to the grounded surface using stainless steel
bolts passed through mounting tabs. Use a tooth locking washer to
penetrate the chassis coating.

a. Alternately, scuff the protective coating on a mounting tab on the
Ethernet Injector using a metal file or heavy sandpaper. Avoid power
tools due to the possibility of ESD.
