Module Connectors
RJ-45 Connector
The RJ-45 connector is used to connect a Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 foil twisted-pair or unshielded twisted-pair cable from the external network to the module interface connector.
Caution |
Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store large levels of static electricity because of the dielectric properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the module. |
Caution |
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding and lightning immunity requirements, you must use a foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends. |
LC Connector
The LC fiber optic connector is a small form-factor fiber-optic connector that provides high-density fiber connectivity. The LC connector can be used with either MMF cable or SMF cable. The LC connector uses a latching clip mechanism that is similar to the one used on the RJ-45 copper connector.
Warning |
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051 |
Note |
Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors can damage the fiber and cause data errors. |
