9.2. Coiled Ethernet Cable Kit – Flatbed only
This section describes the installation of a flexible and extendable coiled Ethernet cable for
providing Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connections to one or more IP cameras on moving
flatbeds. It is designed for installation on the outboard right or left side of the moving bed and
vehicle chassis to allow for full movement of the bed. It is critical that all mounting
recommendations be followed to prevent damage to the cable from snagging or being over-
extended.
Coiled Ethernet Cable Kit
Installation Steps
1) Start by moving the bed back about 6’ and tilting the front of the bed up about 3’ from
the chassis.
2) Choose a suitable mounting location under the flatbed using the pictures below as a
general guide. You will need to select suitable mounting points for your specific vehicle
by examining the movement of components when the flatbed moves forward and
rearward and tilts.
3) The coiled cable has a maximum extension length of 6’. Measure rearward on the chassis
6’-6.5’ from where the front of the bed stops at full bed retraction. This is the general
location for the chassis end of the coiled cable kit to be bolted. Select a suitable location
under the front corner of the bed for the other end of the coiled cable to be bolted.
Ideally, use existing drilled holes for the 1/4” bolts to secure the coiled cable clamps
(both coiled cable and stretch cord). Caution: Ensure you move the bed fully forward
