Installation Guide
Step 1: Prepare Wires
- Strip 6–8mm of insulation from wire ends.
Step 2: Connect to Terminal Block
- Loosen the screws on the terminal block.
- Insert wires into labeled slots (e.g., Pin 1 = White/Orange).
- Tighten the screws to secure the connection (0.5–0.8Nm torque).
Step 3: Attach to RJ45 Device
- Plug an RJ45 male connector into the adapter’s female socket.
Step 4: Test
- Use a network tester to verify data transmission and voltage output.
Troubleshooting Tips
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| No Network Connection | Check wire pinouts; ensure proper termination (T568A/B). |
| Low Speed | Confirm cable routing (avoid proximity to power lines). |
| Loose Connection | Retighten screws or replace terminal block if stripped. |
