NOTE:
Units purchased as fiber units have a built-in fiber receiver. They have been
configured at the factory to only receive a fiber input and are all set to Master. If the need
arises to use the unit for another purposes, such as a coax master or a slave unit, please
contact Z-Band for assistance in reconfiguring the unit.
All connections in the fiber links
must be either fusion spliced or Angle Polished (APC). All connections on Z-Band
furnished equipment has SC/APC. If a different series of connector are used on the
fiber patch trays, a cross series patch cord can be used so long as it is an APC
connection.
