4.3.2 “Push fit” style
This connector relies on a gland nut to hold the assembly firmly together. The CAT5E cable is threaded
through all the components of the connector housing (see Figure 4-5) before the cable is terminated as a
straight through connection with a shielded RJ-45 connector. Once terminated, the RJ-45 connector
slides back into the connec tor housing which accepts the tab on the RJ-45 connector. Screw the ferrule
into the connector housing as far as it will go, ensuring that the ‘O’ ring creates a tight seal with the
connector housing. Slide the compression seal into the ferrule, noting that the keyways have to mate with
channels in the ferrule. While ensuring that the RJ-45 connector is firmly seated in the connector housing,
tighten up the gland nut to secure the complete connector assembly.
