The SharpV is shipped with an IP67-rated network cable plug that must be used to weatherproof the network cable termination in outdoor installations. To ensure that the SharpV maintains its IP67 weather rating, you must follow the recommended procedure when assembling and connecting the network cable plug.
What you should know
- The network cable must provide PoE++ (Power over Ethernet) 802.3bt Type 3 40 W. For more information, see Network cable requirements for SharpV
cameras.NOTE:
- If the SharpV is supplied with PoE+ or PoE power, the Sharp Portal might be accessible, but the unit cannot generate license plate reads.
- The Overview page of the Sharp Portal displays the Power source currently connected to the camera.
- One RJ45 connector is included with the network cable plug. The plug supports standard shielded or unshielded RJ45 connectors.
Procedure
-
Pass the cable through the cable sealing nut and the network cable plug.
IMPORTANT: Do this before creating the RJ45 termination.
-
Arrange the wires with a straight-through EIA-568A or EIA-568B conductor
arrangement.

Test the RJ45 connection according to the instructions included with the cable
tester.
NOTE: You can use the cable tester included in the AutoVu Installation Kit. For more information, see About the AutoVu Installation Kit.
-
Press the locking tab of the RJ45 connector and align it with the wide slot of the
plug housing. Gently pull the cable until the RJ45 connector is fully seated in the
plug housing.
-
Thread the cable sealing nut onto the network cable plug. For a standard CAT cable
between 4 mm (0.16 in) and 7 mm (0.28 in), use two wrenches to fully tighten the
connection. If you are installing a CAT cable with a larger diameter (between 7 mm (0.28
in) and 8 mm (0.31 in), tighten to a maximum of 3.4 Nm (30 lbf-in).
WARNING: Tightening the nut while the network cable plug is connected to the SharpV camera can break the plug and allow water to enter the camera.
-
To connect the network cable plug to the camera's network cable port, turn the plug
by hand until you hear a click.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection.
