Observe the following guidelines when connecting twisted-pair and fiber-
optic cables to the ports on the media converter:
The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the

media converter. The tab on the connector should lock the
connector into place.
Because the twisted-pair port has Auto MDI/MDI-X, you may use

straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect any type of network
device to that port.
For the fiber optic cables, refer to the cable manufacturer

specification for the minimum bend radius.
To apply power to the media converter and connect the network cables,
perform the following steps:
1. Attach the smaller end of the USB cable to the USB port labeled 5VDC
on the back panel of the media converter.
2. Secure the USB cable to the media converter using one of the cable
ties (included with the separately purchased wall-mount bracket) as
described below and shown in Figure 22 on page 45:
a. Insert the cable tie through the integral notch on the mounting
bracket adjacent to the USB port.
b. Route the cable next to the cable tie.
c. Loop the cable tie around the cable.
d. Fasten the cable tie.
