Before Tape Wrapping
In order to properly weatherproof Ethernet ports, there must be something to be done before tape
wrapping.
1.
Cut the straps of the Ethernet port cap nut or take the screw out of it if it hinders the subsequent tape
wrapping.

2.
Cut the rubber mastic tape into 1/10” (2-3mm) by 4” (100mm) strips.
3.
Wrap the strip around the base of each Ethernet port in the clockwise direction as shown in

tightening of the cable gland or cap nut. This is to fill out the space at the port base after tightening.

Cut the rubber mastic tape into 3/10” (7-8mm) by 4” (100mm) strips.
6.
