Terminating an Outdoor Network Cable with Shielded RJ45 Connectors
06/07 >>
Prepare the following tools.
RJ45 connector crimping tool
Diagonal pliers
Prepare an outdoor network cable
and shielded RJ45 connectors.
1. Core wire
2. Aluminum foil
3. Braid shield
4. Outer jacket
5. Shielded RJ45 connector
Strip the cable.
Length of the stripped
cable: 20 mm
Strip off the braid shield and cut
the aluminum foil and unwanted
materials.
When stripping off the outer jacket, take care not to damage the braid shield
or aluminum foil.
Remove the outer jacket.
Arrange the core wires according to the pin assignments and cut them
neatly (exposing a length of 12 mm).

Insert the arranged core wires into an RJ45 connector according to the pin
assignments and crimp the connector with the crimping tool.

connector.
Cut off the exposed braid shield and materials
along the edge of the connector.

Outdoor network
cable
Terminate a connector on the other end of the network cable, and then test the cable
for continuity using a network cable tester.
The pin assignments of the connectors at the two ends must be the same. Outdoor
network cables are straight-through cables.
Terminating a Ground Cable with an OT Terminal
Strip the ground cable.
A: OT terminal
B: ground cable
C: exposed cable conductor
L1: length of the exposed cable
When you are skillful, you can determine L1
based on the length of the OT terminal lug.
When striping off the insulation layer of the
ground cable, take care not to damage or nick
the metal conductor of the cable.
Before crimping, ensure that the core wires are fully inserted in the RJ45
connector.
Fit the exposed cable into the OT terminal.
Ensure that the cable conductor does not
protrude more than 2 mm from the OT terminal.
Crimp the OT terminal lug.
The impression left from crimping the lug may
differ depending on the crimping tool used.

Generally, straight-through cables are used with the RTN 360.
Crossover cables are required only when the BTS3902E and BTS3202E
supplies power over Ethernet to the RTN 360. In this case, the pin
assignments of the connector at the other end are as follows:
