Appendix B Crimping an RJ-45 connector
You must insert the Ethernet cable through the liquid tight adapter before crimping an RJ-45 connector on the end of the cable (typically category 5 or category 5e cable).
Figure 1 RJ-45 connector
The following describes two common types of cables and how to make them.
· Straight-through cable—The colored wires are of the same sequence at the two ends of the cable. A straight-through cable is usually used to connect PC or router to hub or switch.
· Crossover cable—The colored wires are of different sequences at the two ends of the cable. A crossover cable is usually used to connect PC to PC, router to router, or PC to router.

NOTE: · The Ethernet ports of the AP are autosensing and can recognize both types of cables. · When making a cable, follow the exact sequence listed in Table 1 or Table 2. · When the AP is installed outdoors, the cable must be waterproof. If possible, use waterproof tubing to protect the cable. |
