5.2 Ethernet Cable / Feedthrough Assembly

Only a single Ethernet cable is needed to connect the SkyWay radio to the indoor PoE Injector.

Since the cable is exposed to the outdoor elements (heat, moisture, and UV light), only outdoor

rated, shielded Cat5 Ethernet cable should be used. To ensure all-weather operation, the

weatherproofing cable feedthrough (also known as grommet or gland) must be properly

assembled onto the Ethernet cable and radio.

The following diagram depicts each of the feed-through parts:

Assembly Steps:

1. Remove the Compression Nut and slip it over the Ethernet CAT5 cable as shown below.

2. Feed the Ethernet CAT5 Cable through the Feedthrough Body (pre-installed on the

enclosure at the factory) and insert the RJ-45 connector to the female connector inside the

enclosure.

3. Install the Compression Nut and hand tighten until the cable resists slipping when gently

pushed or pulled. Lightly wrench-tighten, being careful not to overtorque the Compression

Nut.
