Important! If not using a conduit, the Ethernet port compression washer on the 5830 series radios
should be loosely tightened around the cat-5 cable to allow pressure equalization within the radio’s
enclosure. Leave approximately 1 mm around the Cat-5.
It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for the STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio
upside down.
!
Important! The J-Box is not a weatherized device, and must be located either indoors or in a weather-
protected cabinet.
!
Note: The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to be grounded if the radio itself is grounded. It is important
to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if exposed to the weather (especially direct sunlight). It is
recommended that installers place all Cat-5 cables inside conduit. Plastic conduit is sufficient. If metal conduit is used, it
is not necessary to use shielded Cat-5 cable.
