Install the LPU to PSU drop cable
Use this procedure to terminate the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable with RJ45 connectors at
both ends, and with a cable gland at the LPU end.
Warning
The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury.
ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant).
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear. ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable,
not a bladed knife.
Caution
Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector, otherwise the cable or
connector may be damaged.
1
Cut the drop cable to the length required from bottom LPU to PSU.
2
At the LPU end only
:
• Fit one cable gland and one RJ45 connector by following the procedure Terminate with
RJ45 connectors and glands on page 5-19.
• Connect this cable and gland to the bottom LPU by following the procedure Connect the
drop cable to the ODU (PSU port) and LPU on page 5-17.
4
At the PSU end only
: Do not fit a cable gland. Strip the cable outer sheath and fit the RJ45
connector load bar. Fit the RJ45 connector housing. To ensure there is effective strain relief,
locate the cable inner sheath under the connector housing tang:
