Best Practice for Outdoor Connection to AC Mains
In all circumstances and with any outdoor infrastructure the recommended practice is to connect to
AC mains in an order grade weather protected junction box. This needs to be implemented by a
qualified resource in a manner that is consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of
deployment. In many countries this will require a licensed electrician to perform this operation.
In Japan, this would is a Certified Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The use of plugs with infrastructure equipment is suitable only for temporary installs where nuisance
tripping of GFI plugs is considered tolerable. Should it be desired to attach a plug to the cable
assemblies then the installer is expected to follow all directions provided with the plug end in a
fashion consistent with local electrical code.
The seals inside the clamping ring by factory default is applicable for cables with 5-8.5 mm diameter. In the
cable gland kit, another seals is provided for use with the cables with 7-10 mm diameter.
