RG-NIS3100 Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Product Installation (2) Connect the power module to the switch, as shown in the following figure. Connecting External Interface Cables Precautions Distinguish single-mode and multi-mode fiber-optic cables and interfaces. Avoid a small bend radius at the connector. Connection Procedure (1) Connect the RJ45 connector of an Ethernet cable to the management Ethernet interface on the device, and the other end to an NM or control terminal.
RG-NIS3100 Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Product Installation Bundling the Cables Precautions Bundle the power cords and other cables neatly. When bundling fiber-optic cables, ensure that they have natural bends or large bend radius at the connectors. Do not bundle fiber-optic cables and twisted pair cables too tightly, as this may press the cables and affect their service life and transmission performance.
