For wiring: connect ground first, then power cables, and finally signal cables

Do not open the housing while the device is powered

Wartungsempfehlungen

Regularly check LED status for quick network fault diagnosis

Inspect cleanliness of power terminals and fiber interfaces every 6 Monate

Keep fiber ports free of dust; clean with professional fiber cleaning tools

For faults, first check power and physical link connections; disassembly by non-professionals is prohibited
