The PoE connector stamped IN goes to your IP network.
•
You supply the PoE injector with cables and plugs following your country / area
safety directives for electrical devices.
4.3 Outdoor deployment
The GATEWAY is suitable for outdoor use: the envelope has maximum protection against dust
ingress and is water resistant (IP65).
In case of an outdoor installation and power for the GATEWAY is supplied by a PoE
injector, you will have to pay attention to the standard safety rules installing electrical
devices outside.
Most likely you’ll need a technical electrical enclosure to host the PoE, and to supply power.
Some PoE are sold to be useable outdoor, some are sold with an extra IP66 enclosure, when
choosing your equipment, pay attention to the 802.3af-2003 and 802.3af-2009 compatibility
and to operating temperatures as well. HIKOB has some product references to advise, ask
our vendors.
Consider as well other alternatives: you can have the GATEWAY installed outside, and the
PoE inside.
4.3.1 Ethernet cable set up for outdoor use
HIKOB provides an industrial connector housing (Amphenol Socapex RJF RB 6, which is
IP67), to be mounted on the Ethernet cable before connecting it to the GATEWAY. This is a
protective sealed and hardened envelope which can be added around any standard RJ45
connector. Choose an Ethernet cable suitable for outdoor u
se. You don’t need tools to equip
your Ethernet cable, just follow these step by step graphical instructions:
Figure 3: Steps to dress the Ethernet cable with the Amphenol connector housing
Pull a Cat.5e Ethernet cable from your electrical cabinet, not going further than 100m long,
to ensure data rate quality. Don’t connect it while you’re doing the installation.
Mount the Amphenol Socapex on the end of the cable that goes to the GATEWAY
