Grounding the Media Converter

Wiring considerations

CAUTION

Be sure to disconnect the Media Converter from the DC power source before installing and wiring the device.

The following wiring considerations are recommended:

Signal lines must not be directly connected to outdoor wiring.

Use separate paths or conduits to route wiring for power and device data cables. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics route separately. If power wiring and device data cables must cross make sure that the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

Keep input and output wiring separated.

CAUTION

The Media Converter is intended to be grounded to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal plate. Install the grounding wire prior to connecting any other device to the Media Converter.

Media Converter Grounding the Media Converter helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic

groundinginterference (EMI) via proper grounding. Always run the ground connection from the ground screw to a grounding surface before connecting the Media Converter to a DC power source. See Figure 7.
