Thread the Cat 5 cable through the hole in the gland.2. Pull the cable through and crimp on the RJ45 connector – see section 8.23. Connect the RJ45 connector into the WES2HT’s LAN port.4. Tighten the clamping nut until the Ethernet cable is secured in the connector until itis hand tight.!Warning! DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Over-torquing can damage the port and/or theinternal board inside. Also do not grab the black exterior housing with a wrench.Turning that portion of the port will not detach the cable assembly or threadingpiece, it will only damage the device.Note: the RJ45 connector does move slightly within the LAN port on the WES2HT unitthis allows the RJ45 connector to be connected to the Ethernet port more easily.8.2 Configuring the Cable.Note: The total length of cable from the WES2HT to the Ethernet device cannot exceed100m (325 feet); however, for a non-PoE WES2HT unit the PIM can be located anywherealong the overall 100m of cable. KBC Networks recommends shielded Ethernet cables forthe cable connecting the PIM to the WES2HT unit. Any cable exposed to the elementsshould also be outdoor rated.1. Determine the length of cable that will be required and where the PIM will belocated.2. Slide the weatherproof connector over the cable jacket before crimping theconnector. See Section 8.1 for the assembly instructions. If needed, see below forcolor-code standards to configure the correct type of Ethernet cable.Note: Ethernet standard straight-through cable configurations used must be configuredto one of the Ethernet standards (568-A or 568-B) in order for the WES2HT system tooperate efficiently. Any deviation from one of the two standard configurations can lead toundesired activity.
