Connect one end of a patch (straight through) CAT 5e Ethernet cable to the AP24/58 through the Feed through assembly. 4.
Cable Feed-through Assembly Step 1: Use a Cat 5/6 cable with a open RJ45 connector without a boot. • • Do not tighten compression gasket until you are finalizing the installation.
