bkvanbek 0 Posted October 10, 2014 I have a Swann system. The cameras come with a pre made Cat 5 cables and loose connectors that look like they are for wet conditions. one end locks on the female connector on the camera pigtail, but the other end won't slide over the mail cat 5 end. How do I use them? They don't look like you can put them on after the ends are put on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted October 10, 2014 Post a picture of what you got. If it is what I think, to use them you have to crimp the RJ45 connector that goes on the UTP cable that reaches the camera. You can't use them with premade cables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted October 10, 2014 Just cut the male RJ45 plug off, slip the pieces you got on that end. Test fit to make sure you have put it on in the correct direction. Then when you are happy, crimp on a new RJ45 plug. You can get tools to crimp, test as well as a packet of RJ45 plugs for pretty cheap online, maybe $20 for everything. Plenty of videos on youtube on how to do it. I don't use them because it doesn't rain in So Cal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
