Preparing the DC Cables

Before connecting the E4G-400 router to DC power, prepare the DC cables.
The following terminals are provided with the power supply.
  • Two spade terminals (Tyco part number 328281 or equivalent) for connecting the input power cables
  • One ring terminal (Tyco part number 2-320561-4 or equivalent) and screw with captive lock washer (type 6-32 UNC) for connecting the ground cable

You need a crimping tool to attach the terminals to the power and ground cables.

  1. On each wire, strip 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) of insulation from one end.
  2. Insert the stripped end of the input power cable end all the way into the barrel of a spade terminal.
    Crimp the terminal securely to the cable.
  3. Insert the stripped end of the green/yellow ground cable end all the way into the barrel of the ring terminal.
    Crimp the terminal securely to the cable.
