5.7 Precautions
■ Installation
<Electrostatic discharge failure of connector>
● In order to connect cables to the OPF-H1000 or to devices connected to the OPF-H1000, remove
static electricity by touching grounded metal such as racks before handling single cables. Otherwise it
may cause a malfunction.
<Others>
● Do not place the transmitter on top of the receiver and vice versa.
● Do not block vent holes. Keep enough space (3 cm/1.18 inches or more) around the product.
● Do not install the OPF-H1000 in closed space.
If you have to install the product to an EIA rack mount in closed space, add a ventilation to keep the
ambient temperature of 40 degrees C/104 degrees F or less. (Exception: Installing to IDK’s Quarter
rack, RM-42HQ) If inadequately vented, the life of parts may be shortened and operations may be
affected.
■ Operating precautions
● Use HDMI signal I/O cables less than 5 m/16.4 feet whose pins are assigned appropriately. This
extension distance cannot be longer even if connecting to a device that has a compensation circuit
for digital cables.
● If connecting the OPF-H1000 to a device that is in an extremely bad condition, video image may be
interrupted.
● The OPF-H1000 will transmit signals using DVI mode only if the resolution of the input signal
resolution is
set to WUXGA. However, some source devices can still use HDMI mode for WUXGA resolution if
supported.
● Since the OPF-H1000 transmits input signals without compressing or processing, signals are
transmitted
in 24bits/pixel (8 bits/component) even to sink devices that support Deep Color formats.
● Clean the connector ends of the fiber optic with a cleaner before inserting.
● Plug the dust cap to the SFP module when you do not connect the fiber optical cable. For connectors
of the fiber optical cable, use the cap.
● Do not plug or unplug the SFP module or fiber optical cable when the product is turned on.
● Before turning on/off the OPF-H1000, turn off or mute the connected devices first to avoid a noise
sound.
● Make sure not to exceed the allowable bend radius of fiber optical cable that are determined based on
each fiber specifications. Otherwise, transmission loss may occur.
● The maximum transmission distance is the value acquired from the following conditions:
- the recommended fiber is used,
- no connection through the path way, and
- the allowable bend radius is not exceeded.
● Do not use the SFP module of the OPF-H1000 for other devices or connect fiber optical cable that are
connected to other devices to the SFP module of the OPF-H1000. It may cause malfunctions of the
SFP module. The maximum receiving optic power used for the OPF-H1000 is 0 dBm.
● The OPF-H1000 can be connected to the optical I/O slot board of the FDX series but not to other OPF
series.
