Interconnecting Model 2814SA Hubs Using the 10BASE-FL Port
Figure 3-14 shows two Model 2814SA hubs connected via their 10BASE-FL
fiber ports. A fiber cable is connected directly between the ports on the two
hubs; TX on each hub is connected to RX at the other end.
Figure 3-14. Connecting Model 2814SA hubs using the 10BASE-FL port
The fiber interface of the Model 2814SA hub is compatible with the latest IEEE
802.3 10BASE-FL draft standard, as well as fully compatible with the IEEE
fiber optic inter-repeater link (FOIRL) standard. The fiber interconnect ports on
the Model 2814SA hub support up to 2-kilometer distances using
62.5/125
µ
m core/cladding multimode optical fiber.
To connect two Model 2814SA hub 10BASE-FL ports, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the power is on for both hubs.
2.
Connect one end of a fiber cable to the ST connectors on one
Model 2814SA hub 10BASE-FL port.
3.
Connect the other end of the fiber cable to the other Model 2814SA
hub 10BASE-FL port.
4.
Check the Link LED for each port. If it is not lit, reverse the TX
and RX connectors on one end of the cable.
