Fiberlink® 5100 Series User’s Manual
Fiberlink® 5100 Series
Installation Instructions
The Fiberlink® 5100 Series of fiber optic transmission systems are ready for
immediate use and do not require any special tools or equipment. However, an Optical
Power Meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6615, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets
during your systems design and maintenance.
The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure:
1) Connect the Universal Power Supply to the transmitter and receiver units.
When power is applied, the PWR LED should illuminate, indicating the
presence of operating power.
2) Connect any Category 3, 4 or 5 Ethernet Cable to the Ethernet port of the
transmitting 5100 Series unit. The TX Link LED should illuminate.
3) Connect any Category 3, 4 or 5 Ethernet Cable to the Ethernet port of the
receiver 5100 Series unit. The TX Link LED should illuminate.
4) Connect the fiber optic cable(s) to the transmitter and receiver units.
5) The FX Link LED should illuminate. If the FX Link LED fails to illuminate and you are
using a two fiber system, reverse the fiber optic connections at one of the units.
Installation Instructions
The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 5100 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromag-
netic radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The
radiation from this optical connector, if viewed at close
range with no fiber optic cable connected to the optical
connector, may be sufficient intensity to cause
instantaneous damage to the retina of the eye. Direct
viewing of this radiation should be avoided at all times!
