Verifying the Installation

Connecting Transceivers to a Copper Network

Caution To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded, twisted-pair Category 5 cabling.

To connect transceivers to a copper network, follow these steps:

Step 1 Insert the network cable RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 connector on the transceiver.

Note When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four-twisted-pair, crossover Category 5 cabling.

Step 2 Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 connector on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target device.
