Remove the RJ45 Cable Safely

Details about how to safely remove the RJ45 cable when you need to uninstall the access point.

About this task

If you need to uninstall the access point for troubleshooting, you will need to remove the RJ45 cable.

Loosen the gland sealing nut on ETH0 or ETH1.
Move the gland cap, gland cage, and the gland gasket at least 6 in. away from the LAN cable and the gland area.

Note
The LAN cable outer diameter must be 5.0 mm to 7.0 mm.
Use a thin, strong, and non-conductive tool like a flat-bladed orange stick to reach into the gland, and press down the plastic locking latch of the RJ45 connector.

Warning
Ensure that you do not touch any components on the Power Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) board near the gland area.
While pressing down the plastic locking latch on the RJ45 connector, gently pull the wire to take the connector out of the access point.
Remove the sealing nut, claw, and seal from the cable.
