Installation
The fiber adaptors are tapered to fit a varying number of fiber optic cables. The
adaptor often needs to be cut for proper fit and maximum light output.
C a b l e t y p e s
The following guidelines provide a starting point for estimating your needs. Light
transmission through fiber-optic cable depends on its quality and results will vary
depending on the type of cable used.
S I D E - E M I T T I N G C A B L E
With 1 fixture, best results are had when the fiber optic cable is 10 m (33 ft.) or
shorter. The length may be increased to 15 m (50 ft.) by looping the cable and
illuminating both ends. With 2 fixtures, one at each end of the cable, lengths up to
30 m (100 ft.) can be achieved.
E N D - E M I T T I N G C A B L E
Light output decreases with length: keep the cable as short as possible. The
maximum recommended length is 25 meters. Cut the light emitting end of the fibers
with a sharp knife for maximum output.

1 Install the cable in the adaptor ferrule according to the instructions supplied with the
adaptor ferrule.
2 Insert the adaptor ferrule into the port of the FiberSource CMY150.
Warning
If your adaptor ferrule is the smaller 30 mm diameter adaptor
(P/N 91611035), then you need to insert it into an adaptor ring to
increase the diameter to 38 mm. Place the adaptor ring onto the
adaptor ferrule so that the ends are flush. Screw the adaptor
ring fast using a 2mm Allen wrench. Do not push the adaptor
ferrule past the end of the adaptor ring as the fiber will be too
close to the light source and will be damaged.
3 Tighten the set screw with a 2 mm (5/64 in.) Allen wrench.
