4.7 Fiber Ethernet Communication
If the communication system is fiber Ethernet, look for:
• an indoor media converter connected to the network via Cat-5 cable and to fiber
cable.
• a second media converter outdoors located in an enclosure at the display.

Connections
• Computer to network − RJ45 cable (similar to phone cable) from computer port into
network jack.
• Network to first media converter − RJ45 cable into media converter.
• Media converter’s 9-volt power packed plugged into outlet.
• Indoor media converter to outdoor media converter − two fiber-optic cables run from
indoor media converter to second converter in the enclosure at display.
• Enclosure to display − quick-connect cable to the middle jack on display back.
DO NOT SHARPLY BEND fiber-optic cable at any point along the fiber cable.
