2.2.2 Optical Fiber Connection
Most cable manufacturers identify individual fibers in the
fiber cable. Select an appropriate terminated fiber. Each
unit’s optical ports in the system are specified for use
with Multi-mode (62.5/125 or 50/125 micron) fiber, or
Single-mode (9/125 micron) fiber. Follow the ensuing
instructions for installing and connecting the fiber optic
links:
1. Ensure the power is off before proceeding with the
fiber optic cable installation.
2. Prior to connecting the fiber optic cables, remove
and save the dust caps from the optical port of both
the Mini-12GSDI
units and the user’s device. Clean
the fiber optic connector and use a lint-free cloth
dampened with alcohol to thoroughly wipe the sides
and end of the ferrule.
3. Cross-connect the fibers from one unit to the other
connecting the near end Mini-12GSDI
unit’s optical
TX port to the far end Mini-12GSDI
unit’s optical RX
port as illustrated in Figure 2-3. Observe the type of
connector you have and connect the optical
connector by referring to the legend provided in
Table 1, and following the instructions and
guidelines.
