Terminating the SharpZ3 camera cable - SharpZ3 | SharpOS 13.4

The SharpZ3 camera cable is pre-terminated with an RJ45 connector. If you want to shorten the camera cable, or if you want to drill a smaller cable hole, you can cut the cable and terminate it using the provided replacement RJ45 connector.

1. Slide the strain relief boot over the unstripped camera cable.
   You can do this after you strip the cable, but it is easier to do it first.
   
2. Using the cable jacket stripper, strip approximately 5 cm (2 in) from the cable jacket.
3. Remove the metal shield tape.
   IMPORTANT: Do not remove the wire mesh.
   
4. Separate the strands of the wire mesh and cut off all but two strands.
5. Wrap the strands around the cable jacket.
   Tip: To keep the cable diameter as small as possible, do not overlap the wires.
   
6. Wrap the provided copper tape around the strands.
   
7. Remove the plastic tape.
   
8. Cut off the plastic spline.
   
9. Arrange the conductors according to the EIA-T568B standard. For more information, see Conductor arrangements for SharpZ3 cameras.
   
10. Insert the wires into the EZ-RJPRO® HD connector.
11. Slide the connector over the copper tape.
    
12. Confirm the wire order still matches the EIA-T568B standard.
13. Twist the wires so that they can easily pass through the crimp tool.
    Tip: If required, pull the wires so that the RJ45 connector slides farther over the copper tape.
14. Slide the strain relief boot into place and insert the plastic prongs into the RJ45 connector.
    
15. Crimp the connector using the EZ-RJPRO® HD crimp tool.
