Appendix: Install USB to Ethernet Module

Installing the USBClosed Universal Serial Bus to Ethernet Module enables the CP6000 charging station to connect to a local Ethernet network for LANClosed Local Area Network based data communication.

The module has a USBClosed Universal Serial Bus port connector on one end to plug into the USBClosed Universal Serial Bus port of the CP6000 charging station and a RJ45 Ethernet port on the other end to connect an Ethernet cable. The RJ45 Ethernet connector is clamped with a ferrite to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMIClosed Electromagnetic Interference).

Cat 6a shielded Ethernet cable is compatible with the RJ45 Shielded Quickon Connector (or the Ethernet connector) provided in the Ethernet Kit.

Important Considerations

  • Outdoor rated Cat 6 and above cables (Cat 6a, Cat 7, Cat 7a, Cat 8) must be used for runs less than 100m (300 feet). Ethernet runs longer than 100m (300 feet) are not recommended.

  • The cable must be shielded.

  • The cable's shield must be earthed/grounded at the installation site.

  • One ferrite cable core, model Wurth 742 758 15, must be placed inside the charger on the LANClosed Local Area Network cable, as close as possible to the input of the RJ45 Ethernet connector.

  • The station owner must complete and return to a ChargePoint representative a completed and signed Ethernet Site Qualification Form prior to the installation of the USBClosed Universal Serial Bus to Ethernet Module.

The replacement kit includes an L-wrench with a T25 driver on one end and a 4 mm hex fitting on the other end.

The charging station with the faulty part must have an Activated status.

These charging stations are available in several configurations. The images in this guide might not match your station exactly; however, the installation steps are the same unless otherwise noted.
