When using the BNC interface, refer to Figure 3-2 and follow these steps:
a. Insert the BNC T-connector on the port of the Model SW502 Switch.
b. Connect the coaxial cable that leads from a device on the network to one of the self-locking
ends of the BNC T-connector.
c. Connect the coaxial cable that will go to another device to the remaining end of the self-
locking BNC T-connector. If there are no more devices to be connected, terminate the
connection with the 50 Ω terminator that is provided with the product.
Figure 3-2 illustrates three switches connected through the BNC connector. The separation in
the coaxial cable between the two top switches illustrates the incorporation of other devices.
The figure illustrates that interconnection is not limited to switches.
