Installing the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box-RJ45

1. Attach the box

Attach the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box-RJ45 at the mounting 
position with the cable ports pointing downwards and open the 
lid of the box (three screws).

2. Connect ground wire

Open the terminal screw (red circle in figure) using a regular 
screw driver. Strip the insulation of the supplied or existing 
ground wire for approx. 5 mm/0.2 in and push the wire through 
the eight-wire plug in the center. Insert wire into terminal and 
fasten terminal screw.

3. Attach the patch cable, close box

Remove both bayonet catches and the sealing plugs, insert MOBOTIX 
patch cables into the cable ports and secure them using the 
bayonet catches as shown.

 Only use MOBOTIX patch cables 

with integrated sealing ring!
Mount the cover back onto the box (torque 0.4 Nm).

Installing the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box-LSA

1. Attach the box

Attach the MX-Overvoltage-Protection-Box-LSA at the mounting 
position with the cable ports pointing downwards and open the 
lid of the box (three screws).

2. Connect ground wire

Open the terminal screw (red circle in figure) using a regular 
screw driver. Strip the insulation of the supplied or existing ground 
wire for approx. 5 mm/0.2 in and push the wire through the eight-
wire plug at the left. Insert wire into terminal and fasten terminal 
screw.

3. Prepare the installation cable

Cut the installation cable to size, push it through the cable plug 
5 to 7 mm in the center, strip the cable for at least 35 mm and 
separate the individual wires of the cable into twisted pairs with 
20 mm shielding. Wrap the shield mesh around the cable sheath 
10 mm wide so that it can rest on the contact plate of the board. 
The cable will be fastened with a cable tie later on.

4. Feed the cable into the box

In order to prevent humidity entering the box, the rubber sleeve 
needs to be tight against the cable. Guide the supplied cable tie 
through the two cable slots as shown and pull the cable tie tight 
around the cable shield to provide proper strain relief.

5. Connect the cable wires

Use an 

LSA PLUS wire insertion tool to insert the individual wires 

into the LSA terminal. Decide on using either the EIA/TIA-568A 
or B wiring standard as in the rest of the building. The color 
code sticker in front of the LSA terminal shows both standards.
If no LSA PLUS tool is available, you can use a tool with inter-
changeable blades (LSA/Krone blade with setting “Low Impact”).

6. Attach the patch cable, close box

Remove right-hand bayonet catch and sealing plug, insert MOBOTIX 
patch cable into the cable port and secure it using the bayonet 
catch as shown.

 Only use MOBOTIX patch cables with inte-

grated sealing ring!
Mount the cover back onto the box (torque 0.4 Nm).
