Red plug is for cable 7.0 - 8.1 mm diameter.

Black plug is for cable 5.0 - 6.0 mm diameter

E.3 Pre-thread Before Termination

Three WAPV parts (cap, so plug, inner shell) must be pre-threaded onto the not-yet-terminated end of

the Ethernet cable. In this example, the red so plug is used because this Ethernet cable’s diameter is 7

mm. Note that one end of the so plug is wider. The wider end of the so plug faces the cap. The nar-

rower end faces the inner shell.

Tip

If you look/feel inside the outer shell you will see that one end has larger rectangular keys (blocky

bumps) on the inside. The larger keys are the ones that will mate with the female WAPV connector on

the ES1-5050CS enclosure. The smaller keys inside the other end of the outer shell are the ones that will

mate with the inner shell. The end wih smaller keys (which is shown closest in the photo above) will

also receive the so

 circular washer which will rest on a narrow shelf that circles the inside of the outer
