General notes:
The OSC 100 transmitter and the receivers OEC 40 and OEC 44 are all
fi
tted with an optical
CLIK! connector. The taps and splitters of the OAC and OVC series are equipped with con-
nections for CLIK! connectors (male).
Kathrein provides optical patch cables with CLIK! connectors in various lengths to connect
passive OAC and OVC units as well as the suitable optical connectors ODC xxx.
Handling components
When dealing with optical waveguides:
Installation and disconnection of the
fi
bre optic cable to the equipment:
1. Only remove the protective cover from the connection if you want to create a new optical
link - Do not touch the front face of the connector!
2. Pay attention to the orientation (input / output) and push the connector in until it clicks (as
described in the instructions)
3. Removal of the
fi
bre optic cable is done by pressing the latch lock and pulling the cable
out.
4. Save the protective caps to protect the connectors of the cables/devices when removing
or remodelling.
5. The minimum allowed bend radius for the
fi
bre optic cable is 15 mm during the installa-
tion and 10 mm during use. A smaller radius signi
fi
cantly increases the attenuation and
may cause damage to the
fi
bre optic cable. Fibre optic cable must always be handled
carefully - especially during installation.

Unused coaxial outputs must be terminated with an optical termination
(OTC 1) without fail. Otherwise, the proper functioning of the optical distribu-
tion network cannot be guaranteed.
Cleaning optical connectors:
If an optical connector (male) has been repeatedly inserted and unplugged or if failure
occurs, it may be necessary to clean the optical connector pins or sockets.
