– Fiber Optic Connection
The MCM1000S/L modules are equipped with two SC-type connectors.
Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber connectors until you are ready to
connect the fiber optic cables. Power should be connected (install the module into a
MetroStar slot) before attaching the fiber optic cables. When dealing with fiber optic
cables, it is essential to ensure that the Tx at one end of the link is connected to the Rx
at the other end of the link. Some duplex fiber optic cables are color coded to help
monitor the direction of data transmission. If the fibers are not coded, special attention
must be paid to ensure a proper connection.
If your distance is shorter than specified in
the table below (see next page) for your model or should you wish to perform a local test,
insert first in line (both receive and transmit) appropriate attenuators (5db should suffice).
CAUTION
Radiation emitted from a fiber optic connector may be
hazardous to human vision. Therefore, the following rules
must be strictly observed.
All single-mode (SM) models are CLASS I LASER PRODUCTS
and must be handled with special care
When not in use, keep the fiber optic connector closed using
its protective cover
.
The fiber optic transmitter is a CLASS 1 Laser product that
may endanger your eyes
Never stare directly into the fiber optic connector of a powered
device or into the end of a fiber connected to it.
Do not look directly into the fiber optic cables or transmitter
