Cabling and Grounding Considerations
Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations.
It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Strain relief holes are provided on the FOX5800
and FOX5300 mounting bracket for use with cable tie. Create drip loop and strain relief as shown below.

It is advised that the radio be grounded through use of the shielded twisted pair’s drain wires. Prior to crimping the STP Cat-5
cable, strip back approximately 18” of sheathing to expose the drain wires. Cut all wires except the drain wires and then
crimp as normal. Ensure that the drain wires make contact with the RJ-45 metal housing. Twist together the individual drain
wires and connect the other end to a known ground.
