For 1:1 Redundancy applications only – Follow these steps to connect the Ethernet Interface
Cable RJ-45 ‘J2’ and ‘J3’ connectors (Figure 2-6):
Step Task
1 Typical for each CA-0000352 RJ-45 connection (‘J2’ and ‘J3’): Press down the tab on the pertinent
RJ-45 plug, and then insert the plug into its corresponding jack in the user-provided Ethernet switch or
hub. The connection is complete when the tab ‘clicks’ into position inside the jack.
2 Connect the user-provided Ethernet switch or hub to the LPODnet Netbook with a user-provided Ethernet
cable. Typical for either end of the user cable, press down the tab on the cable RJ-45 plug, and then
insert one plug end into the switch or hub jack, and the other end into the LPODnet’s RJ-45 Ethernet
network jack. The connection is complete when the tab ‘clicks’ into position inside the jack.

Figure 2-7. CA-0000352 19-pin Circular Connector
The 19-pin circular connector, labeled ‘P1’ on the CA-000352 Ethernet Interface Cable, features
a keyed configuration. Figure 2-7 shows the mating relationship between the ‘P1’ connector and
the ‘J6 | COM1’ socket on the SSPA, or the ‘J1’ socket on the Redundant Loop Cable Assembly
(CEFD P/N CA-0020655 for Rx / Tx applications, or CA-0020657 for Tx-only applications). Follow
these steps to install the CA-0020526 Serial Interface Cable’s male 19-pin circular connector into
the SSPA’s ‘J6 | COM1’ port or the 1:1 Redundant Loop Cable’s ‘J1’ receptacle:
Step Task
1
Engage the primary and secondary alignment tabs on the male connector with the mating cutouts on
the female socket.
2 Push the male connector into the female socket.
3
