Caution: These instructions apply only if you are adding a Vicon-supplied cap and seal to an RJ45 Ethernet cable (minimum Category 6 (Cat 6) standard). Use of parts obtained from third parties or failure to protect your Ethernet cable correctly, as described below, will invalidate the IP65 protection and the warranty of the camera.

Ensure you have the required parts:

IP65 cable cap and seal (obtained from Vicon: part number VKSC-B)
Cat 6 RJ45 cable (30m or 50m, depending on your requirements)

Ensure you also have a suitable cable sleeve expander tool (also known as sleeving pliers), such as these sleeving pliers.

Take one end of the cable and thread the RJ45 connector through the end of the cap that has the smaller opening.

Insert the prongs of the cable sleeving pliers into the hole in the seal and squeeze the handles to widen the hole so that you can thread the RJ45 connector through the smaller opening.

Push the connector far enough through the seal to be clear of the pliers.

Release the handles and remove the pliers from the seal.

When required, connect the cable to the camera and fit the cap and seal over the connection as described in Replace the IP65 cable cap.

Caution: To ensure Valkyrie cameras remain IP65-rated, ensure you always remove and replace the IP65 cable cap correctly. For instructions, see Remove and replace IP65 cable cap.
