INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RR-0800 multimode bi-directional audio transceiver.
Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum
performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RR-0800 operates as half of a transceiver pair for the transmission of one channel of bi-directional
4 wire audio. It is designed to operate with the MT-0800 or RT-0800 audio transceiver over a single
multimode fiber optic cable.
The RR-0800 converts an audio input into an optical output using a 850 nm wavelength source. The
RR-0800 also converts an optical input signal returning on the same fiber into a single audio output
using an 1300 nm wavelength detector. The 0800 Series product is designed to operate over an optical
loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB. The RR-0800 operates on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to
the data sheets for detailed performance specifications.
This unit is designed for rack mounting in any of the three American Fibertek subracks available. The
subrack model numbers are SR-20/2, SR-20R/1, and SR-20D/2. Slide in rack mounting and an LED
indicator provide for easy installation and monitoring of optical and dc power.
The RR-0800 is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please see the
MR-0800.
