4.3.2 Outdoor PonE Unit Weatherproof Grommet Seals
The cable entry points into the outdoor PonE unit are protected from moisture ingress by special rubber
grommet seals. Each grommet has three holes to accommodate up to three cables (two CAT5 and one
power). Rubber plugs are provided for holes that are not being used. Two holes, for CAT5, have a split
side to allow pre-terminated cables to be easily inserted. The third hole, which is smaller, is not split but
allows un-terminated power cables to be pushed through. A gland nut is used to secure the cables and
create the seal. Ensure that the rubber plugs are in place for all holes not occupied by cables and that the
grommet sits squarely in its receptacle before tightening the gland nut to secure the seal.
Note that any pre-terminated
cables will need to have the
connectors staggered, as shown,
lower left, in Figure 4-9, in order
for them to pass through the hole
in the PonE unit housing
