Connecting Fiber Optic 100BASE-FX, Type ST and SC
The following procedure applies to 100BASE-FX applications using the Magnum
15E Media Converter with ST-type (twist-lock) and SC-type (snap-in) fiber connectors.
1.
Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the
tips of the connectors on the Magnum 15E. Save these dust caps for future use.
2.
Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens
tissue dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before
connecting.
Note: One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color
bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on
the associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.
3.
Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum 15E to the
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of
the cable for this first “Transmit-to-Receive” connection.
4.
Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post) on the 15E to the Transmit
(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.
