Ethernet Buccaneer Environmentally Sealed Connectors IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY Before using the connector, it is important that these instructions are carefully read and understood to ensure the connector system is completely water tight and performs to specification. Cable Glands To ensure the correct cable sealing, cable glands are supplied to accurately fit cable diameters from 3.5 to 8.0mm. It is important to choose the closest gland size to the cable being used. Cable diameter Gland Colour 3.5 - 5mm Blue 5 - 7mm Green 6 - 8mm Red The standard shielded RJ45, as supplied, is suitable for cables up to 6.0mm diameter, larger cables may require different assembly techniques. CONNECTOR COMPONENTS Carrier Moulding RJ45 Plug Load Bar Cable Locking Ring Gland Gland Cage Gland Nut Connector Body ASSEMBLY/WIRING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Thread the gland nut, gland cage, gland and connector body on to the cable. 5. Crop the latching clip on the RJ45 ensuring this is completely removed. 25.4mm (1.00”) 2. Remove the cable jacket carefully taking care not to damage the braid and foil. Fold back the braid and foil over the cable jacket. 6. Push the RJ45 into the carrier moulding until it latches. 3. Un-twist the conductors and feed through the appropriate hole in the load bar, according to the wiring standard required. Push the loading bar fully home on to cable. Trim conductors to extend 8.64mm (0.34”) out of the front of the load bar. 2 4 6 8 Loading bar viewed from rear, wire entry side.

Pull up the connector body and locate the carrier. The carrier sits into a ‘D’ shape aperture in the connector body, ensure it is seated correctly. Locate locking ring and tighten ring to retain insert, using the assembly tool provided. 1 3 5 7 Load Bar 1 Front face view 8.64mm (0.34”) 4. Push load bar and cable fully home into RJ45, ensuring the braid and foil are in contact with the metal shell. Crimp RJ45 with appropriate crimp tool and die set. Trim back braid and foil flush with rear of RJ45 body. 8. Slide gland, gland cage and gland nut up to body moulding then tighten to torque of 1.5-2.0lb/ins, 13-18Nm. For the PX0854/A version fully tighten nut until end of travel. Note: Over tightening of gland nut may constrict cable and could cause signal distortion.
