Connecting the Network Cables
The AT-2716POE adapter has one fiber optic connector to connect to the
data network and one copper PoE port for attaching the adapter to a
compatible link partner. The fiber optic connector requires a fiber optic
cable. The copper port requires a twisted-pair cable. For pin signals and
pinout information, see “10/100/1000Base-T Twisted-Pair Port
Connectors” on page 88.
Note
For procedures to clean a fiber optic connection, see Appendix B
“Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors” on page 91.
To connect the fiber and copper network cables to the adapter, do the
following:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the adapter:
 For the copper port, connect one end of the twisted-pair cable to
the adapter.
 For the fiber optic connector, prepare a fiber optic cable according
to the specifications in Table 2. Connect one end of the cable to
the adapter. See Figure 8 on page 27 for an example of the fiber
optic connector.
