cable. Selectanappropriateterminatedfiber. Each unit’soptical
portsinthe system arespecifiedfor use withSC-connectorized
Multimode (62.5/125 micron) fiber. Follow the ensuing
instructions on installing and connecting the fiber optic links:
1. Ensure the power is off before proceeding with the fiber
optic cable installation.
2. Priortoconnecting the fiber opticcables,removeand save
thedustcapsfromthe opticalportofboththe Mini-HDMI-WP
units. Clean the fiber optic connector and use a lint-free
cloth dampened with alcohol to thoroughly wipe the side
andendofthe ferrule.

2.3 DC Power Connection
The standard option to connect a power source is a +12VDC, which is
used when power source is farther away (see Figure 2-3). In order to
make sure that you have a proper installation, please observe the
following:
1. YourAC jack has power.
2. The12VDCpowersupply is working.
3. Yourelectrical system has proper grounding (this ensures
that your power supply does not suffer from voltage
variations).
4. Power Surge Protection. This is optional, but highly
recommended. AUPS system provides voltageregularity
as well as prevents spikes from occurring, thus protecting
yourMini-HDMI-WPfromsensitive voltage conditions.

This power supply is a wall mounted AC/DC adapter, 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz, at or 0.5A.
Ifyouhaveanyproblemsorconcerns,regardingtheinstallation,make
sure that you have taken the proper steps to ensure a proper power
