4.6.3 Fiber-optic Connection
There are two types of “bayonet” fiber-optic connectors used on ST fiber-optic cables.
The newer type is made by 3M and is smaller than the AT&T ST connector. Install the
connector by pushing it into the card connection and twisting the connector to the right
(clockwise) to engage the blade. Remove it by pressing the metal sleeve toward the card
and twisting to the left (counter-clockwise) to disengage the blade.
The primary difference between the connector types is that the AT&T connector provides
a “locking” mechanism. Before it can engage or disengage the blade on the card
connection, the plastic boot must be unscrewed at least ¼ inch and then re-tightened.
The fiber-optic cable pairs are connected between the transmitter pair of the “down-
stream” node and the receiver pair of the “up-stream” node. Continuing this type of
connection to all nodes in the network will result in a daisy-chain network ring as
indicated in Figure 4-9.
NOTE
: It does not matter if Tx
1
or Tx
2
is connected to the next node’s Rx
1
or Rx
2
as
long as both Tx cables are connected to both of the next node’s Rx connectors.
