7 – Fiber Optic Connection
The GSM1000 series products are equipped with two duplex SC-type connectors.
Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber connectors until you are ready to
connect the fiber optic cables. Power should be connected before attaching the fiber
optic cables. When dealing with fiber optic cables, it is essential to ensure that the Tx
at one end of the link is connected to the Rx at the other end of the link.
Some duplex fiber optic cables are color coded to help monitor the direction of data
transmission. If the fibers are not coded, special attention must be paid to ensure a
proper connection.
If your distance is shorter than specified in the table below for your model
or should perform a local test, insert first in line (both receive and transmit) appropriate
attenuators (5db should suffice).
CAUTION! Radiation emitted from a fiber optic connector may be hazardous to
human vision. Therefore the following rules must be strictly observed
All single-mode (SM) models are CLASS I LASER PRODUCT that may
endanger your eyes and must be handled with special care.
When not in use, keep the fiber optic connector closed using its protective
cover.
Never stare directly into the fiber optic connector of a powered device or into the
end of a fiber connected to it.
Do not look directly into the fiber optic cables or transmitter
