Phone/Network Jacks (RJ11/RJ45 Connectors):
RJ connectors, as seen in Figure 62, are similar to the telephone
connectors or network jacks found in homes and businesses. These
jacks are used on the ends of RJ11 or RJ45 cable. In order to remove this
plug from the jack, depress the small clip on the underside of the plug.

Before replacing an RJ connector, spray it with DeoxIT

contact cleaner

to remove any foreign matter that may cause signal problems. In
addition, apply a generous amount of CaiLube

protector paste to the

plug before inserting it into the jack. This paste will protect both the
plug and the jack from corrosion.

Quick-connect Jack:
The display uses quick-connect jacks for the connection of the signal,
the temperature sensor and the connection to a mirror display. Three
input and one output quick-connect jacks are located on the back of
the primary display. When not in use, the attached dust cover should
be kept closed.

To attach the cable to a jack, match the configuration of wires in the
plug to the pattern in the jack. Push the plug in, then turn the outer
collar to lock it into place. Figure 63 illustrates the six-pin quick-
connect jack.

Fiber Optic Cable:
A fiber optic network transmits light (signal) through a glass fiber.
Because fiber optic cable is glass, the cable must never be bent. Two fiber
cables are shown in Figure 64.
