How to use

Open the screw cap and insert the RJ45 connector of the first cable into the waterproof cable entry, ensuring the silicone seal surrounds the cable.

Recommendations

For reliable IP68 protection, use cables with appropriate outer diameter that allow the silicone sealing ring to form a tight seal; periodically inspect seals and caps for damage and retighten if necessary after weather exposure.
