Fiber Optic Cable Assembly Parts
To use the M9B-HFS interface, you will need to supply fiber optic cable and a computer with a fiber optic serial
port. The M9B-HFS uses a HP receiver/transmitter pair with HP part numbers shown in Table 5.3-2. Choose fiber
optic cable which is compatible with this receiver/transmitter pair.
If you have an RS232 serial port, you can connect fiber optic line to it using a fiber-to-RS232 serial data
converter. Table 5.3-2 shows the part number and supplier of a fiber optic-to-RS232 serial data converter.
Standard fiber optic cable assembly and fiber to serial adapters are available from your electronics/computer
equipment supplier.
