Overview

The Cradlepoint 170946-000 is the heavy-jacket sibling of the W2255's gasket pair: bored for 5.5-6.5 mm cable diameters, it seals the I/O entry around shielded and outdoor-rated Ethernet runs. Outdoor-rated cable is thicker cable - the larger bore is what seals it without pinching.

  • Bored for 5.5-6.5 mm cable jacket diameters
  • Compression-seals the W2255 I/O entry
  • Specified for Cradlepoint W2255 wideband adapters hardware
  • Cradlepoint part number 170946-000
  • UPC 840292728554
  • Seal the W2255's I/O entry around 5.5-6.5 mm outdoor-rated jackets
  • Avoid the pinch-and-leak failure of forcing thick cable through small bores
  • Keep shielded and UV-jacketed runs properly sealed

Outdoor installs favor heavier cable - shielded, UV-jacketed, gel-filled Ethernet that runs 6 mm and up - and the W2255's I/O sealing accounts for it with this larger-bore gasket. The 170946-000 covers 5.5-6.5 mm jacket diameters, compressing around the heavier cable as the I/O cover closes. Forcing thick cable through the smaller 170945-000 gasket pinches the jacket and opens leak channels; the correct bore seals clean. Together the two sizes cover the cable choices a W2255 install realistically makes, which is why fleet site kits carry both and let the field measurement decide.

Upgrading a site to shielded outdoor Ethernet without upsizing the gasket trades one reliability problem for another - the bore has to follow the cable.

Measure the jacket, confirm 5.5-6.5 mm, seat the gasket in the I/O entry, and compress with the cover. If the site's cable measures under 5.5 mm, use the 170945-000 for a proper seal.

Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170946-000 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.

Ideal for

  • Sealing shielded outdoor Ethernet into the W2255
  • Cable upgrades to heavier jackets
  • Seasonal sealing maintenance
  • Site kits covering both gasket sizes

Questions buyers ask

Which hardware is the 170946-000 designed for?

It fits the Cradlepoint W2255 series wideband adapter's I/O entry for cables measuring 5.5-6.5 mm in jacket diameter. Slimmer 4.5-5.5 mm cables take the 170945-000 gasket.

What is included in the box?

One I/O gasket for the W2255, 5.5-6.5 mm cable diameter range, individually packaged.

Is there a warranty?

It is covered under Cradlepoint's standard accessory warranty. Cloud Care Networks can confirm the current term and handle RMAs on your behalf.

Can I use sealant instead of the correct gasket?

No - sealant on a mismatched gasket is a temporary patch that fails with thermal cycling. Match the gasket bore to the measured jacket diameter; that is what the two sizes exist for.
