Connect the Cables
3.6.1 Transmission Media
For short wavelength laser modules, either a 50 µm or 62.5 µm core diameter cable should
be used. For distances up to 300 meters 62.5 µm can be used. 50 µm cable allows distances
up to 500 meters. For distances greater than 500 meters, (up to 10 kilometers,) long
wavelength laser modules with 9 µm core cable should be used.
3.6.2 Fiber-Optic Cables
The two factors to consider when connecting the cables are the topology and the
transmission media used. The cards can be connected in several different topologies
depending on your application. See section 2.4, Topologies, for more detailed examples.
Fiber-optic Cable Precautions
CAUTION:
Fiber-optic cables are made of glass and may break if crushed or bent in a
loop with less than a 2-inch radius.
Look at the cable ends closely before inserting them into the connector. If debris is
inserted into the transmitter/receiver connector, it may not be possible to clean the
connector out and could result in damage to the transmitter or receiver lens. Hair, dirt,
and dust can interfere with the light signal transmission.
Use an alcohol-based wipe to clean the cable ends.
For short wavelength laser modules, either a 50 µm or 62.5 µm core diameter cable should
be used. For distances up to 300 meters 62.5 µm can be used. 50 µm cable allows distances
up to 500 meters. For distances greater than 500 meters (up to 10 kilometers), long
wavelength laser modules with 9 µm core cable should be used.
The optional fiber-optic cables may be shipped in a separate carton. Remove the rubber
boots on the fiber-optic transmitters and receivers as well as those on the fiber-optic cables.
Replace the rubber boots when cables are not in use or when the node must be returned to
the factory. Attach the fiber-optic cables to the connectors on the SL240 card.
Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 depict the types of fiber-optic connectors needed for the SL240
card.
