Section 2 Hardware
Overview
The switches can be mounted directly to a flat surface or to a wall. Refer to the mechanical
drawing below. Its high protected enclosure makes it able to withstand immersion (IP67/68
rating).
The Ethernet connections come out from rugged MIL-DTL-38999 RJFTV connectors.
Front Panel
Display The following describes the front panel, and LED indicators of the RJSMLAC-8UG-CAPS.
LED Indicators
The Single LED indicator on the front panel labelled PWR shows the operative status of
the switch.
Once the switch is powered, the LED PWR is turned on.
This LED will be on solid green when proper power has been applied to the unit.
Each port has 2 LEDs indication:
•Link / Activity (Off – there is no link, Steady Green – There is a device connected,
Flashing Green – there is data transmission)
•Speed (Green for 1000Mbps, Off for 10 or 100Mbps)

Section 3 Installation
Selecting a
Site
As with any electronic device, you should place the switch where it will not be subject to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference that exceeds the
RJSMLAC-8UG-CAPS ‘s profile. Specifically, the site you select should meet the
following requirements:
•The ambient temperature should be between -35 to 75 degrees Celsius.
•The relative humidity is recommended to be less than 95% percent, non-
condensing.
•Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards for MIL-STD-461E.
CAPS for
unused
connectors
The switches are pre-equipped with caps on all ports, including power and Ethernet.


 Make sure all connectors are protected with cap or sealed plug to ensure sealing
and prevent from deterioration of the contacts.
Mounting
The RJSMLAC-8UG-CAPS Ethernet Switch can be fastened to any flat surface by
mounting the box directly. Refer to the mechanical drawings below. Make sure to allow
enough room to route your Ethernet and power cables.
The RJSMLAC-8UG-CAPS weights 1.5 Kg and is mounted via its four 4x4.5 mm holes for
screws.
The external dimensions of the RJSMLAC-8UG-CAPS are given here after.

Section 4 Wiring
Overview
These switches provide connections to Ethernet devices in harsh environment. Typically a
port is used to connect to another Ethernet switch that is connected to the main Ethernet
backbone. The other Ethernet ports are then connected to Ethernet devices such as
communication systems, Ethernet I/O, or industrial computers. Electrical isolation is
provided on the Ethernet ports for increased reliability.
Please follow normal Ethernet wiring practices when installing these switches.
Power wiring
The switches should be powered using mating plugs and backshells compliant with MIL-
DTL-38999 series III. We suggest using hereunder accessories. Another backshell can be
used but it must ensure a correct sealing protection.

Backshell We suggest using TVNSA backshells with corresponding heat shrinks.
These backshells, providing an electrical continuity between cable and connector, ensure a
high level or of EMI/RFI protection. The sealing is ensured by straight heat shrink molded
piece at the rear of the backshell. NSA and SA backshells ensure the shielding by
clamping the braid with a screwing system. The free inner ring avoids twisting of the braid
during screwing.
Heat-shrinks are molded pieces for harsh environment, fluid resistant (with preinstalled
adhesive).

Heat shrink designation: 804221

TVNSA backshell assembly instruction
1. Prepare the cable for termination process and slide onto
the cable the items in the order shown on figure 1.
2. Screw the backshell at the rear of the connector.
3. Fold back the braid on the outer jacket and fix it (figure
2).
4. Install the braid as shown on figures 3 and 4:
Release the braid and cover the backshell (a) and the
connector’s shell. Slide the first ring (b) over the braid. Fold
back the braid on the ring (b) and slide the second ring (c)
over the braid and the first ring (b). Screw the last ring (d)
at the rear of the backshell. If necessary, fix the extra braid
on the outer jacket of the cable. If this installation (double
folding of the braid) is not possible, refer to figure 5: Slide
the first ring (b).
Release the braid and cover the backshell (a) and the
connector’s shell. Cut the braid as shown. Slide the second
ring (c) over the braid and the first ring (b).
Screw the last ring at the rear of the backshell.
5. Install the heat-shrink molded piece.

Ethernet
wiring
These switches provide connections to Ethernet devices on the battlefield. Typically a port
is used to connect to another Ethernet switch or hub that is connected to the main Ethernet
backbone. The other Ethernet ports are then connected to Ethernet devices such as
communication systems, Ethernet I/O, or industrial computers. Electrical isolation is
provided on the Ethernet ports for increased reliability.
Please follow normal Ethernet wiring practices when installing these switches.
Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5 (or better) with
standard RJ45 connectors. You can use all standard existing RJ45 Cat5e cordset and
transform it into an environmental connector, without any cabling operation, and without
any tool!
Ethernet plug
part number
The IP68 rated RJ45 plug is field installable and does not
require any special tools. It can be installed over any standard
Ethernet patch cable (though you may have to remove the latch
cover if it has an over-molded boot). Refer to the diagrams for
mechanical and assembly details.
Part number of the plug to be used: RJF TV 6 M G. This plug
may be assembled with 4 different coding. Use the coding A to
make your assembly. For more details, please consult:
