The fiber cable is a 10-meter tail fiber with a waterproof cover. One end of the fiber is an LC connector
with a waterproof joint, and the other end is an SC connector, which can be connected to a fiber or
device. For users using an optical cable terminal box, you can insert the SC connector of the tail fiber to
the SC socket on the optical cable terminal box. The mark A on the SC socket is the RX end of the AP,
which should be connected to the TX end of the peer device, and the mark B is the TX end of the AP,
which should be connected to the RX end of the peer device. Optical cable terminal boxes are not
waterproof, and therefore should be installed indoors or in a waterproof chassis. For users using an
optical cable splice closure, you need to cut off the SC connector, and then wrap the fiber. Note that the
A and B marks correspond to the RX and TX ends of the AP respectively and should be connected to
the TX and RX ends of the peer device respectively when you wrap the fiber. Optical cable splice
closures are waterproof and can be buried or installed overhead.
Connecting the power cable
The WA2210X-G and WA2220X-AG AP support external PoE power supply.
z
To use a PoE switch to supply power to the AP, connect the port of the switch to the
10/100BASE-TX port of the AP through an Ethernet cable.
z
To supply power through a port lightning protector, connect the devices as shown in Figure 4-21.

To AP
Step1
Insert the plug of the power adapter into the 48 VDC port of the POE-MH port lightning protector.
Step2
Connect the port of the switch to the protect port of the POE-MH port lightning protector using an
Ethernet cable.
Step3
Connect the grounding cable to the PE port of the POE-MH port lightning protector, tighten it, and make
sure that the grounding cable is well grounded.
Step4
Connect the surge port of the POE-MH port lightning protector to the 10/100BASE-TX port of the AP
using an Ethernet cable.
