From local network
1. You can pass the cable gland and other wires
into or through the pendant pipe, while leaving
the RJ-45 connector behind.
2. Route another Ethernet cable from the local
network through the other end of the pendant
pipe.
3. You can then install the pendant pipe.

RJ-45 coupler
You can then connect the RJ-45 from the camera with that from the local network using an
RJ-45 coupler. When done, press the coupler and the cables into the recess of the bracket.
Align and install the camera to the bracket.
