Dimensions (W x L x H approx.):
1.625” x 19.125” x 8.5” (41.3mm x 486mm x 216mm).
Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction.
NetWaySP8A/NetWaySP16A is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads.
These products are for indoor use only and must be installed within the
protected premises.
-
Attach mounting brackets to the unit for rack or wall mount installation (Fig. 3 or 4, pg. 4).
Affix rubber pads to the unit for shelf installation (Fig. 5, pg. 4). -
Secure the unit in a rack or on a wall, or place the unit on a shelf as desired.
Note: The following factors should be taken into consideration when installing these rack mount units:
a. The unit is to be installed in a space where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
b. Take care to ensure that there is sufficient airflow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
c. When mounting units in a rack, take care to avoid uneven loading which can cause a hazardous condition. -
Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the unit (Fig. 1d, pg. 2). Plug unit into reliable earth grounded socket. When using multiple units, the sum of the individual nameplate ratings should not exceed the supply circuit rating.
Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. -
Connect the structured cable from the port(s) marked [1-8] or [1-16] on NetWaySP8A/16A to the corresponding input(s) of a UL Listed ethernet switch (Fig. 1c, pg. 2).
-
Connect fiber optic cable to a fiber SFP module. Connect the module to the port(s) marked [SFP1-SFP8], [SFP1-SFP16] on the NetWaySP8A/16A. Connect the other end of the fiber cable to an SFP module of a remote device (Fig. 1a, pg. 2). SFP LED will illuminate indicating data connection (Fig. 1b, pg. 2).
1a 1Gb SFP port.
1b LED indicates fiber link.
1c RJ45 connects to switch
1d IEC 320 Connector: 115/230VAC (grounded line cord included).
Recommended Altronix SFP Modules:
Altronix P1MM, P1SM10, P1AB2K, and P1GCE are hot-pluggable SFP fiber
transceiver modules and are readily usable with all Altronix Spectrum fiber
optic equipment for 1Gb transmission rates.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of an insulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open the enclosure.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
