Weather Resistant Ethernet Cap
The NightWatch White Light and IR LED Illuminators use a 3.28 ft. (1m) long network cable, with a female RJ45 Cat5e compliant jack and an IP68 rated cover. This creates a waterproof seal for PoE+ connection to a PoE IEEE802at compliant switch for both power and network connection.
This article outlines how to connect your NightWatch Illuminator’s weather resistant Ethernet cap for outdoor use.
Supported/Affected Devices
- NightWatch IR LED IP-enabled PoE+ Illuminator
- NightWatch White Light IP-enabled PoE+ Illuminator
Assembly Instructions
To use the weather resistant Ethernet cap:
- Feed the unterminated cable through the connector end cap.
- Pass the unterminated cable through the main connector body. Ensure that the connector body is facing the correct direction for the cap threading.
- Strip the Ethernet cable to the required length for the RJ45 connector.
- Attach and crimp the RJ45 connector. Make sure that the wires are in the correct order before crimping.
- Connect the RJ45 connector to the Illuminator’s Ethernet port.
- Slide the main body of the waterproofing cap (1) to the Illuminator’s Ethernet port. Rotate the main body clockwise until tight (2).
- Slide the end cap to meet the main body of the waterproofing cap (1). Rotate the end cap clockwise until a tight seal is created (2).
