Fiber Port Designations
Different size and wavelength fiber optic cable is used for different applications. The GPIM-08
and the GPIM-09 typically have a blue connector to indicate the long wave length transceiver. The
GPIM-01 connector is typically black or beige, to indicate short wave length applications. Check
the fiber specifications in
Appendix C
for each GPIM carefully before connecting a GPIM to the
network.
Since the fixed front panel ports, and the GPIM-01, GPIM-08, and GPIM-09 all have the SC fiber
connector, the directions for connectivity are the same, except for when the GPIM-09 is connected
to multimode fiber. Refer to
Section 3.6.2
before connecting the GPIM-09 to multimode fiber.
3.6.2
GPIM-09 Connection Using Multimode Cable
NOTE:
When using multimode fiber optic cable for the GPIM-09 (long wave length
transceiver), connect the Launch Mode Conditioning cable as detailed in the following
procedure. The following procedure is not needed when connecting single mode fiber
optic cable to the GPIM-09. Launch Mode Conditioning cables are available from
Enterasys Networks.
