Cabling a Media Converter Module
This section contains general guidelines to attaching the
network cables to the ports on a media converter module.
For additional instructions and guidelines, refer to the
Installation Guide that ships with the module.
ˆ Refer to the cabling specifications in the module’s
Installation Guide to verify that you are using the correct
type of cable and are not exceeding the maximum
operating distance of the ports.
ˆ Do not remove the dust cover from a fiber optic port until
you are ready to connect the cable. Dust contamination
can adversely impact the operation of the port.
ˆ Verify that the operating specifications of the fiber optic
ports on the networking devices are compatible with the
fiber optic ports on the media converter module.
ˆ A connector or a twisted pair or fiber optic cable should
fit snugly into the port on the module. It should firmly
lock into place on the port.
