Installation Guide
Step 1: Prepare Wires
- Strip around 6 - 8mm of insulation from the ends of the 24 AWG wires (stranded or solid).
Step 2: Open the Terminal Block
- Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screws on the 8-pin screw terminal block.
Step 3: Insert Wires
- Insert the stripped wire ends into the corresponding slots of the terminal block according to the pin assignment (e.g., insert the wire for Pin 1 = White/Orange into the appropriate slot).
Step 4: Secure the Wires
- Tighten the screws on the terminal block to firmly hold the wires in place. Make sure not to overtighten to avoid damaging the wires.
Step 5: Connect to RJ45 Device
- Plug the RJ45 8P8C male plug into the Ethernet port of the desired device such as a router, computer, or CCTV camera.
Step 6: Test the Connection
- Check the network connectivity on the connected device. For example, if it's a computer, see if it can access the internet or local network resources. Use network testing tools if needed to verify the speed and stability of the connection.
Troubleshooting Tips
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| No Network Connection | Check wire pinouts to ensure correct insertion according to the 1:1 assignment. Also, verify that the RJ45 plug is properly inserted into the device port. |
| Weak or Unstable Signal | Make sure the wire connections at the terminal block are tight. Check for any visible damage to the wires or the adapter itself. If possible, try using a different cable or port on the device. |
| Intermittent Connection | Check for any loose screws at the terminal block and tighten them if needed. Ensure that the adapter is not subjected to excessive vibration or interference from nearby electrical sources. |
