 Making Waterproof RJ45 Cable (IGS-5227-6T)

Please read the following instructions and follow the procedures in the order being presented:

1. Step 1: Take a waterproof RJ45 jack out from the Industrial Managed Switch box and get hold of one RJ45 cable.
2. Step 2: Insert the RJ45 cable through the waterproof RJ45 jack.
3. Step 3: Prepare an RJ45 connector.
4. Step 4: Put the RJ45 connector in place with cable crimper. NOTE
   The standard RJ45 receptacle/connector
   There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is color coded. The following shows the pin allocation and colors of straight-through cable connection:Please make sure your waterproof RJ45 cables are with same pin assignment and colors as the above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
5. Step 5: To lock in the RJ45 connector, pull back the cable till the connector nicely fits into the waterproof connector hole.

NOTE

1. Use only the waterproof RJ45 connector provided in the package of the IGS-5227-6T.
2. If the waterproof RJ45 connector is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller where you purchased from. If the new waterproof RJ45 connector is obtained from PLANET, make sure its dimensions are the same.
3. Never use any waterproof RJ45 connector that is not purchased from PLANET or doesn’t have the same dimensions of the IGS-5227-6T; it will damage the device permanently.
