24 8943FC — Instruction Manual
Installation
Fiber Optic Inputs
There are four fiber optic input ports corresponding to Channel 1-4 as
labeled on the rear of the 8943FC-R module (
Figure 17 on page 23 ).
Note Before making any fiber connections, follow the required fiber optic cleaning
recommendations given in
Installation on page 11 .
For the fiber input ports, the 8943FC-R rear module shall follow the channel
allocation convention shown in
Figure 18 . Optical channel 1 and channel 3
are mapped to the B side of standard duplex fiber connector and channel 2
and channel 4 are mapped to the A side of a standard duplex fiber con-
nector.
Note For external attenuation specifications requirements, refer to Attenuation
Requirements on page 23 .

8943FC to 8943CF Connections
When connecting an 8943FC module directly to a 8943CF (electrical to fiber
module), a non-crossing duplex fiber cable is required as shown in
Figure 19 . Refer to Attenuation Requirements on page 23 for cable length
attenuation notes.
Non-crossing is in reference to the logical A/B nomenclature associated
with the duplex connector illustrated below. Side 1A connects to side 2A
and side 1B connects to side 2B.

Electrical Outputs
There are two electrical coax video outputs per channel corresponding to
Channel 1-4 as labeled on the rear of the 8943FC-R module (
Figure 17 on
page 23 ). Connect the output BNCs as desired for each channel.
