Cradlepoint I/O Gasket for W2255, 4.5-5.5 mm Cable Diameter

Compression gaskets only seal when the bore matches the cable, which is why Cradlepoint sizes the W2255's I/O gaskets by jacket diameter. The 170945-000 covers the 4.5-5.5 mm range - slim Ethernet and control cables - compressing around the jacket as the I/O cover closes to keep wind-driven rain, dust, and insects out of the electronics bay. Undersized cables in an oversized gasket leak; oversized cables pinch and channel water along the jacket. Matching the gasket to the measured cable is thirty seconds of diligence that decides whether the adapter's sealing survives its first storm season. Gasket sizing is where outdoor sealing quietly fails - the right bore for the actual cable beats any amount of sealant applied to the wrong one. Measure the cable jacket, confirm it falls in the 4.5-5.5 mm range, seat the gasket in the W2255's I/O entry, and close the cover to compress the seal. For 5.5-6.5 mm jackets, use the 170946-000 instead. Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170945-000 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
