Outdoor CAT5 Ethernet cable, Cable type CMX
o
Size 22 (American Wire Gauge) with a 3.8mm gap
o
Size 24 (AWG) with a 3mm gap
Note
The Ethernet cable must be run through the OAP433e’s water-tight input port,
which is provided in the package. This will ensure a waterproof seal around the
connection. Follow the instructions listed later in this chapter to properly install the
cable.

Power Requirements
The OAP433e does not ship with a power adapter, and as such, must be powered
by a PoE device. In order to ensure that all three radios on the AP are active, it
must be plugged into an 802.3at power source. If an 802.3af source is used, the
third radio will be disabled due to insufficient power.

Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector
The OAP433 ships with a separate Ethernet connector that must be disassembled
in order to run a cable through it. Once tightened and connected to the AP itself,
this connector will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP.

this connector will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP.
To run an Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector:
•
Unscrew the two main components of the connector.
•
Remove the insert from the larger portion of the connector. This should
be a rubber casing surrounded by a plastic shell. Both the plastic shell
and the rubber casing should have a slit along one side, allowing them to
be opened up in order to insert the cable.

and the rubber casing should have a slit along one side, allowing them to
be opened up in order to insert the cable.
•
Prior to attaching the rubber casing to the cable, run the cable through
the smaller portion of the original two-part enclosure. Be sure to run the
cable through the smaller opening (at the top of the plastic component)
so that the head of the cable goes towards the AP. (Note that this step
can be done after the rest of the connector has been assembled, but it
can be difficult to do so when deploying long cables, so it’s best to do it
here instead.)

Run the Ethernet cable through the slit in the rubber casing and ensure
that the casing wraps firmly around the cable. The Ethernet connector at
the end of the cable should be on the larger side of the rubber casing.

•
Replace the larger plastic component (the one that has threading on both
ends) such that it fits around the rubber casing with the plastic shell. The
portion of the component with a large rubber washer should be facing the
end of the Ethernet cable (which will be connected to the AP).

excessive force.

Finally, screw the last plastic portion to the top of the threading. Again,
tighten this firmly, but not excessively. The gap between the top cap and
the base of the threading component should be 3mm when using a
24AWG cable or 3.8mm when using a 22AWG cable.

Now that the Ethernet cable connection has been fully assembled, the AP is ready
to be deployed.
