Please note that your fiber adapter may look like this, but the same cabling will apply if your adapter looks different than the pictures in this guide,

Some locations need only one adapter in the exam room. Other locations require one in the exam room and a second in the Electrical / Telephone room. 20/20 IT will know which applies to you depending on the Internet connection that was setup in your location.

Please insert both cables into the fiber adapter. Please note there are plastic tips that can allow the fiber adapter to go into the adapter one specific way. Please do not force the connection if it does not fit.

Some cables are separated or attached to each other. This also varies depending on your location.
