cable to the RJ-45 port on the media converter.
3.
Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of
the cable to the RJ-45 port on the network
interface card (NIC).
Install the fiber cable
1.
Locate a100Base-FX compliant fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX
connectors installed at both ends.
2.
Connect the fiber cables to the media converter as described:
•
Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
•
