I know there’s supposedly no such thing as a stupid question, so please be kind if this actually is one, but…
Might there be a way to increase the distance between the cable jack and the bottom of the box? I don’t really have an issue when I’m cutting and crimping a new fitting on a cable, but if I want to use a premade cable with strain-relief, that’s when my mumbled curses start flying. Even a half-centimeter more of a gap might help… From: AF [mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Friday, July 16, 2021 2:24 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Cc: Chuck McCown Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Force 300 Ethernet question There is not enough room to make a hole large enough for a grommet that will allow a cat5 plug to pass. We have about .735” to work with. You need a minimum of .750 hole and the grommet itself is 1” dia. I could do a split grommet that would just fit the CAT5 but then you will have to install the grommet with cable filling it and that will be a big pain forcing it in. The other seal that is already there slides out so you are not having to force a round grommet into the hole. It is easy if the grommet doesn’t have anything going through the center when you install it. I doubt no one wants to feed the wire through then install the plug.

Works well enough for those, it would be a bit more of a pain with the RJ45 connector though since you'd have to install the end afterwards.

Not sure what changed, the RJ 45s, The jack Chuck uses, or my techs but we figured out that it was caused by the cable getting pulled sideways in the surge enclosure and the tolerance stack on the RJ/RJ jack just not working in our favor. Now we add a zip tie in the little enclosure to force a bend/cross in the in/out cable. P.S. If you are reading this Chuck we would really really like an enclosure with a separate in/out feed similar to the 600SS or something like that so the cable can go straight up into the jack and not get pulled sideways.

Did you try a different POE? 9/10 times Ethernet seems to be a problem with the termination and/or cable. I've done 1000's of ends, but just the other day I did one with one blue and green wire switched, I think that caused weird Ethernet problems. Of course it was the end at the radio and not the easy-to-get-to inside connection.
