Connections
Optical Connections Multimode
No. of Optical Connections .................. 1 per channel
Optical Fibre ........................................ Multimode 50/125 or 62.5/125**
Connector ............................................ SC/PC
Minimum Optical Launch Power .......... -10dBm
Transmit Wavelength ........................... 1550nm
Minimum Optical Sensitivity ................. -30dBm
Receive Wavelength ............................ 1310nm
Minimum Optical Dynamic Range ....... 20dB.
**Note: the transmission distance is limited by the bandwidth of the Multimode optical fibre. The optical
data rate is 155Mbits/s, which may restrict operation to a maximum fibre length of 7km, although in
most cases the units will operate successfully over longer fibre lengths. It is advisable however for
distances greater than 7km, to have the optical fibre tested.
