  • Cable Routing and Termination

    • Route the cable through the Xgrommet. For pre-terminated cables, utilize either the Notch or XSnap entry point and trim around the shade motor as required.

    • For RJ45 terminations, remove the retention clip from the RJ45 connector and snap the insert into the lower port of the XPOE.

    • Secure the grommet using the integrated screw mount, available on both the XPOE and XSnap models.
       

  • Flange Adjustment (optional)

    • The outer flange of the Xspot grommet can be removed to achieve a flush-mount installation.
       

  • Cable Management and Covering

    • Feed any excess cable back into the cavity and Slackbox Bubble.

    • Install the shade bracket over the grommet to complete the assembly.
