The RAC6182 Industrial Computer accommodates CAT5 twisted pair
Ethernet cabling with RJ45 connectors to support 10 Mbps and 100
Mbps network data transfer rates. Shielded cabling is required to
maintain EMI compliance.

A ferrite collar is included with the RAC6182 and is intended for use
with an Ethernet cable connected to a RAC6182. Install the collar for
suppression of electromagnetic emissions and interference. The collar is
required for compliance with the European EMC directive.

To be effective, the ferrite collar must be placed on the cable where the
cable exits the RAC6182.

To install the ferrite collar:

1. Fold the collar so that it encircles the cable.

2. Press the plastic housing until the collar snaps together.

3. Check that the collar is fully latched.
