Connecting to Your Fiber Optic Network

Using and Purchasing the Required Patch Cord and Adapter

38
Using appropriate patch cords and an adapter (as described in the next
section), you can connect your WA21G and WA22G to:
• an MT-RJ network.
• a square connector (SC) network.
• a straight tip (ST) network.
To connect the access point to your fiber optic network, you must supply
a patch cord and an adapter.
The access point fiber optic port consists of a male MT-RJ connector
interface. Therefore, the patch cord must have a female MT-RJ connector
that you insert into the access point fiber optic port.
Insert a female MT-RJ
connector into the
fiber optic port
Note: Inserting a male MT-RJ connector into the fiber optic port may
result in unreliable operation because there is no internal mechanism to
ensure the alignment of the fiber when using male-to-male connectors.
Such a connection may temporarily provide some level of connectivity,
despite a high level of signal loss. However, any movement of the cable or
change in cable tension could cause complete loss of signal.
Do not insert a male
MT-RJ connector into
the fiber optic port
