Connect a Juggler Optical Data Bus
Cables
Use MTP/MPO 12-fibre 50/125 patch cables, type B, Female to Female.
4-Lane ‘Half’ Bus
Using the ‘half-bus’ optical transceivers, Juggler modules can be bused together using on-board SFP
modules. Each fibre optic cable carries 1 lane in each direction.
Units are daisy-chained progressively unit to unit, 1 to 3, 2 to 4 and loop back from the last unit to the
first in the same way.
We recommend the use of paired crossover patch cables, which will have colour or tag identifiers. It
can be helpful to choose an identifier to work with (yellow, a number etc.) and keep these on the
outside as you work down one side and up the other.
Care with Optical Connectors
Optical connectors are a Class 1 laser product.
Never look directly into the end of fibre cables until you are positive that there is no light
source at the other end.
Cleaning Optical Connectors
The most common problem with fibre optical connectors is contamination – residues or dust.
Plastic easily generates static, which attracts fine particles, too small to see with the naked eye,
and any contamination will affect performance or cause failure.
Avoid troubleshooting by
inspecting first.
