ATTENTION
You should also pay attention to the following points:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power
wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb
is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the
system when necessary.

Grounding the Media Converter

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from
the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

Calculate the maximum possible current in each
power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical
codes dictating the maximum current allowable for
each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the
wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to
your equipment.
