Connecting cables
NOTE:
When you apply weatherproof tape to a cable connection, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Make sure you attach the adhesive side of the tape to the cable connector.
•
Pull the tape as needed for overlap.
•
Start wrapping at the top of the connector, and overlap the tape to half-width. Avoid creases or
wrinkles and press the tape against the connection so that there are no gaps. Smooth each
wrapped layer with your hands to ensure full adhesion.
•
To prevent device damage, attach weatherproof caps tightly to connectors that are not in use.
Connecting an Ethernet cable
Use Category-5e or above Ethernet cables only. As a best practice, use shielded twisted pair (STP)
cables.
To connect an Ethernet cable:
1.
Disassemble the weatherproof connector and sealing nut, and then feed the cable through the
connector.
