Connecting Transceivers to a Copper Network
Caution
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded,

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.
