Connecting Cables

If you need to route cables through the side opening, proceed with the following:

1. Connect the Ethernet and the Power & IO cables. The Ethernet cable

is user-supplied.

2. Use an included cable tie to secure the Ethernet and IO cable to the base plate. Insert the cable

tie through the vertical mounting tab located on the edge of the cabling cutout.

3. Make a clearance between cables and the vertical mounting tab. Arrange the cables neatly to

avoid getting in the way when the dome cover is attached.

4. Cut the extra length from the cable tie.

It is recommended to remove the strain relief boot if your Ethernet cable

comes with one.
