Communication Ports 3.1 Copper Ethernet Ports WARNING Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference If shielded cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
Communication Ports 3.2 Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports Fiber optic Ethernet ports are available with either MTRJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack), LC (Lucent Connector), SC (Standard or Subscriber Connector) or ST (Straight Tip) connectors. Make sure the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) connections of each port are properly connected and matched to establish a proper link.
