Grounding
The terminal must be properly grounded.
Two screws are provided on the rear housing of the terminal to facilitate correct
grounding. To fasten the grounding cable onto the terminal, use a screw post and
serrated washer combined with an M8 nut.

able Installation
The length of the cable from the terminal to the next network component may be up to 100 metres (328 ft),
but should be kept as short as practical in order to reduce voltage drop and signal loss. All Ethernet cables
must be CAT 5e compliant and suitable for outdoor use. The cable must be UV stable and UL approved and
must comply with local and/or national building codes. Cables should be shielded for outdoor use.

Terminating the Cat5e cable with the cable gland (Dual-port version only)
When terminating the Cat5e cable with the Dual-port version of V1000, it is important to follow the correct
procedure for attaching the cable gland to the Cat5e cable.
procedure for attaching the cable gland to the Cat5e cable.
a) Attach the RJ45 plug to the Cat5e cable, with the metallic screening foil or braid section exposed,
starting at 35mm from the end of the RJ45 plug, right up to 50mm from the end of the plug.
Figure 19 - Expose the cable screen starting at 35mm distance, and running up to 50mm from end of plug
b) Push the RJ45 plug into the ODU socket, and make sure that it snaps into position
c) Support the Cat5e cable, and gently screw the gland body into the ODU enclosure by hand, until the
rubber “O”-ring is flush with the metal enclosure. Tighten the gland body with a 24mm spanner. Do NOT
fit the back shell of the gland before the main body of the gland is secure.
fit the back shell of the gland before the main body of the gland is secure.
d) Once the main body of the gland is secure, then tighten the back shell of the gland onto the gland
assembly, but do not over-tighten, to avoid damaging the inner seal.
4.4.2
Selecting the correct port for PoE Supply (Dual-port version only)
The Dual-port version of Liberator-V1000 has 3 ports (2 GigE copper ports, and 1 port for fibre SFP which is
the largest port aperture). The PoE supply must ONLY be connected to the port marked “PoE” as shown
below. The second GigE copper port cannot be used for powering, as it is for data only.
