The network cabling at your site (from the wiring closet to the wall or cubicle 
opening) may already be installed. If it is not, install the cabling following these 
general guidelines.

1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your network. Usually, this connection is 

done in a network wiring closet, via the patch panel.

2 Terminate the other end of the cable at the location where the Network Jack is 

being installed (using either a female or male RJ-45 connector).

Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions for terminating the cable. Be 
sure to test the connector and verify it is working.

The method for connecting the Network Jack to the network is determined by 
how your network cable is terminated (as described in the previous section, 
“Setting up the Network Cabling at Your Site”).

• If the end of the cable is terminated with a female RJ-45 connector, use the 

RJ-45 coupler cable included in the package to connect the Network Jack to 
the network cable (recommended installation.)

• If the end of the cable is terminated with a male connector, connect the 

network cable directly into the Ethernet uplink port.
