how to install IndustrialNet USB Female A-A 2.0 Bulkhead Coupler

Follow these general steps to install the IndustrialNet USB Female A-A bulkhead coupler in a panel or enclosure. Prepare the installation area by ensuring the panel cutout matches the bulkhead’s external dimensions and that routing paths for cables are clear. Use appropriate hardware consistent with your enclosure and panel material, and verify that the mounting surface is clean and free of debris that could compromise the seal.

• Position the bulkhead in the panel cutout from the exterior side (or as specified by your enclosure design) and align with the mounting surface. Confirm that the orientation allows proper cable routing and access to the protective cap.
• Secure the bulkhead to the panel using the appropriate mounting hardware, then seat the anti-rotation washer to prevent rotation under vibration. Tighten to a snug fit without overtightening, which could damage the seal or housing.
• Route the USB cable(s) to the bulkhead, ensuring the connector ends will seat fully into the female A port. If multiple cables are used, maintain proper strain relief to avoid stressing the connector.
• Attach the USB cable to the bulkhead port and verify a clean, full seating of the connector. Engage any shielding or ferrite beads as required by your system to minimize EMI.
• Close the protective cap when the bulkhead is not in use and perform a basic ingress protection check as part of your QA procedure to confirm the IP67 seal remains intact under typical operating conditions.
