Figure 2 - RJ45 Crimp Tool
While professional results are optimized with the use of the termination tool and
custom cable lengths, patch cord style connection can be completed in some
cases by passing the finished RJ45 connectors through the enclosure cable gland.
The connector will fit through the plastic part of the cable gland, and the rubber
grommet can be slit (some RJ45s may be too big for this.) Once the connector is
inside the enclosure, simply plug it into the jack provided on the Ethernet/IP
communication board. Be sure to adjust the rubber insert in the cable gland so
that the slit is on the bottom and then tighten the gland to seal around the wire.
