Exposing the wires of the CAT5e cable
If you need to terminate or shorten an existing terminated CAT5e camera cable, you may first need
to expose the CAT5e cable from the "all-in-one" cable by removing the cable jacket and exposing all
wires.
What you should know
One end of the “all-in-one” cable is terminated with a camera connector for either a Sharp or a
SharpX camera. The other end of the cable is either cut clean or ends with a pigtail, depending on the
system you are installing.
To expose the all-in-one cable wires:
1 Strip 20 cm (8 in.) of the all-in-one cable’s jacket to expose the wires inside.
