Ethernet Port
TheRJ45Et
hernetportislocatedonthebottompaneloftherepeaterunit.ConnectionoftheEthernetportisnot
requiredfornormaloperationofthe
repeater.TheportoffersconvenientaccesstothesystemGUIduring
installation,commissioningandtroubleshooting.EnsuretheprovidedIP67ratedprotectivecapisreplacedwhen
theEthernetportisnotinuse.
IftheEt
hernetc
onnectionistobelongtermorpermanent,ensurethattheappropriateEthernetpatchcableis
utilizedtopreventtheingressofmoisterintotheport.
Fiber Optic Connection
Ifthefiberopt
icoptionisordered,thefiberconnectiononthebottomoftherepeaterhasanIP67ratedprotective
cap.Theprotectivecapmustremaininplaceuntilthefiberistobeinserted.Thiswillhelppreventforeignparticles
fromdegradingperformanceofthefiber.
Thefi
berco
nnectionhasakeyedslotSC/APCconnection.Caremustbetakentoensurethefiberisinstalled
correctly.Itispossibletoforcetheconnectionsothatthefiberisinstalledata180degreerotationcausing
performanceissues.
Note: TheSC/
APCke
yisatthetopandbottomontheconnectionontherepeater.

ItishighlyrecommendedthatonlytheSCRJfibercablesbeusedwiththerepeaters.NotonlydoestheSCRJcable
preventtheingressofmoistureanddustintotothefiberportbutthecablealsoinsuresthefibersarecorrectly
alignedintheconnector.SCRJfibercablesareorderedseparatelyfr
