The following chapter describes the preparation of the network cable and the connection of the cable to the
Ethernet board.
7.2.2.1 Cutting the cable to the required length
Shorten the Ethernet cable to the required length. Please note that you need around 25 cm of additional

7.2.2.2 Dismantling the cable gland
Dismantle the cable gland and pull the individual parts (except the threaded insert) over the cable ( Fig.

The yellow foam masking of the cable gland is not used and can be appropriately disposed of.
7.2.2.3 Removing the cable sheath
Remove the cable sheath for a length of approx. 22 cm.

The cable screen must not be damaged in order to ensure flawless screening of the cable.
7.2.2.4 Bulging and shortening the cable screen
− To create a bulge in the
screen, hold it near the
sheath and push it
towards the sheath.

− Cut the screen at the bulge with diagonal pliers
so that around 10 mm of the screen remains.
