7 E-FIB fiber card
This chapter describes how to connect Eclipse HX matrix frame using E-FIB fiber interface
cards.
E-FIB fiber interface cards connect Eclipse HX matrices together to provide a high speed,
dual redundant link to transfer audio samples and data between systems. These
connections can be configured in various ways to provide protection against the loss of a link
or a node.
Each fiber interface comprises:
•
A front card with various controls and status indicators (including a reset button,
status LEDs for power, processor function, card status, link status and link activity).
Note:
The link status and activity LEDs indicate whether there is activity on a link, whether
the card is transmitting on a link and the error state of a link.
•
A rear card with two Duplex LC Terminated fiber optic connectors (
TXVRA
and
TXVRB
). The fiber interfaces use
9/125µ Single Mode fiber optic cables
.
The standard maximum node length is 10km but other distances are available to special
order. For further details, see
If fiber interfaces are fitted to any matrix in a linked system
all
the linked matrices must be
reset to ensure that all matrices correctly recognize the new hardware.
