Chapter 3: Installation
Connecting a NS50 to a branch NS50 requires simply connecting composite cables to the additional
fibre ports. The connected fibre ports will cause the corresponding fibre port LEDs to become active.
If you are adding NS50 units to an existing system, please consult your MST System Engineer to
ensure power requirements are being met.
3.7 Standard Composite and Fibre Cable Lengths
While custom cable runs can be made where necessary, it is faster and cheaper to use the following
standard cable lengths supplied by MST:

3.8 Connecting Ethernet Cable to the NS50
The external Ethernet ports are located on the underside of the NS50, and are used to connect to
Ethernet devices (such as computers, Ethernet controlled PLCs, hard-wired Ethernet Phones and IP
video devices). An Ethernet cable with a RJ45 connector is used to connect PoE devices. Ethernet
cables are required to meet specifications for use in a mining environment in Ethernet Cable
Specifications on page 108.
The following procedure demonstrates how to connect an Ethernet cable to the NS50.
