Fiber Cable:
Two strands of fiber are required for single-head
devices, four strands for
Dual-head devices.
Please note that the allowed distance will depend on device type AND on
used fiber type.
•
Recommended cables:
Multimode type 50/125µ
allowed distance app. 400m (1,300ft)
Multimode type 62.5/125µ
allowed distance app. 200m (650ft)
Singlemode type 9/125µ
allowed distance app. 10km (32,750ft)
A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels
in the line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the
Fiber link interface (LC) to any other products, especially
telecommunications or network equipment.
Our experiences show that Singlemode devices regularly work well on
Multimode Fibers where vice versa it will never do. In addition, we found
that Singlemode devices on Multimode fibers may extend the allowed
distance on Multimode fibers to twice the regular length. Anyway this
cannot be guaranteed and must be evaluated by the end-user at his own
expense.
Power Supply:
Connect the supplied 5V/DC power supplies to the
Plug
terminal on the rear
of THOR Local Unit, THOR Small Switch or THOR Remote Unit.
