Subscriber Connections and Controls
4.3.1 Ethernet Port (and Cable)
The auto-sensing 10/100Base-T Ethernet port connects through the outdoor
Ethernet cable to the indoor PoE Adapter. The subscriber receives DC power and
exchanges data with the indoor network through this port (straight-through
connection). The cable access entrance on the subscriber is equipped with a
weatherproof seal.
Important -- Warranty Information -- Ethernet Cable
The outdoor subscriber factory warranty is valid only if the Redline
supplied outdoor CAT-5 Ethernet cable is installed and properly
weatherproofed according to instructions in this manual.

The indoor end of the Redline supplied outdoor (hardened) CAT-5 Ethernet cable
is terminated with a standard indoor RJ-45 connector for connection to the indoor
