SXT LTE6 kit - place for second cable

Fri May 12, 2023 1:48 pm

Hello,

I bought this device and everything works fine. But I needed two Ethernet ports, but from what I can see there is only one cable pass.
Did the manufacturer really not provide two places for the passage of Ethernet cables?

Yes, you have to stretch the hole slightly to pass the second cable.
Better a hole to stretch when needed than insects inside, said a wise old man :lol:

Most of the times that device will be used with only one cable.
So yes, for the second cable you need to cut a bit out of the closing lip.
It is foreseen on the inside (plastic is a lot thinner there). Directly to the right of where your picture shows the cable.

I just checked: my SXT LTE was hanging out in France for well over a year (sold the place last year november). I just noticed tiny spiders still managed to create some cobwebs inside ...
So when you have made that hole and applied the cables, maybe not a bad idea to add some minor sealing or so on the left-over openings to avoid something gets in.
Make sure you use something which can be removed easily.
