Installation Notes
Access to the radio’s RJ-45 Port and LED status lights are purposely located at the bottom of the radio to minimize the risk of
water intrusion. Do not mount the radio upside down.
The J-Box is not a weatherized device, and must be located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet.
Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations unless the cable is placed in metal conduit.
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). Conduit (metal or PVC) is recommended to protect the cable.
!
Important! The Ethernet port compression washer should be loosely tightened around the cat-5 cable to
allow pressure equalization within the radio enclosure. Leave approximately 1 mm around the cat-5.
It is important to provide strain relief and a drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio upside down.
