Connectors for the Power Supply and for Ethernet

Note
If you do not use the hybrid socket, this must be covered with a protective cap,
otherwise IP 65 protection is lost. A suitable protective cap is available as an

the supplied protective cap must also be fitted to retain the IP65 degree of
protection.
