Does anyone have installation instructions for this strain relief? I am wondering if it is possible to use it with an over molded CAT 5 cable.
Hi dmeyers,
Welcome to the TechForum.
According to the ordering info for the RCP-00BMMS-TLM7001, this part is meant for field install applications rather than for over-molded cable applications. For over-molded applications, the “S” in the part number would need to be replaced by an “M”, as circled in the part number decoder found on page 5 of the catalog.
We do not carry that part number, but we do offer some pre-assembled cables which use that or similar housings, as found here.
Hi David,
Thanks for the clarification. Do you know of any instructions regarding how this installed? To me, the detailed description on your web page makes it sound like this is for and over molded plug.
I believe for this part the rear components will need to be on the RJ45 cable before installing the connector, and then it can be assembled since the cord grip is too small to fit the connector through. I checked on the manufacturers website but I was unable to find any assembly instructions for this.
I would agree with @Rob_Johnson.
Unfortunately, I think we came up with that “Prewired” term to try to differentiate these products from similar water-proof RJ-45 connectors which come with both the water-proof housing and the actual RJ-45 connector itself, too, such as the DCC-RJ6SB-310.
