WATERPROOFING THE RJ45 CONNECTOR USING THE CABLE GLAND

STEP 1 Split the Sealing open. Pass the Ethernet cable through the Sealing Nut, Sealing and Screw Nut.

STEP 2 Plug the Ethernet cable into the AX51/ AX52/ AX52e “ETH 0” port until it locks to the jack. (Pictures are for reference only)

STEP 3 Tighten the Screw Nut with a torque value of 0.8 Nm.

STEP 4 Insert the Sealing into theScrew Nut.

STEP 5 Tighten the Sealing Nut with a torque value of 0.8 Nm*.

STEP 6 Assembly finished. Repeat Steps 1-6 on “ETH 1” port.

Ensure that the seal is tightened enough to ensure water proofing. However, take care not to use excessive force (over 0.8 Nm) as this may damage the cable gland.
Warning: Weatherproofing the antenna and cable connections is essential and this can avoid cable connections become loose over time due to vibration and prevents water from entering the device. Anywhere Networks recommended that you use butyl rubber and electrical tape to weatherproof all the outdoor connections. For more information of the weatherproofing procedure, please refer to User Manual.
