Refer to the
SPE Quick Start Guides
included in
Appendix C
on
pages 21-24
for detailed installation
instructions.
3.3.1 Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber Optic cables for the SPE system are not included but are available commercially or through
Thinklogical™. Please contact your Thinklogical™ sales representative for a quotation on your required
cable length or call us at
1-800-291-3211
.
Two to three fiber optic cables must be run between the location of the SPE Transmitter (at the CPU or
other DVI-D video source) and the SPE Receiver (monitor, projector, etc.). The standard multi-mode
fiber cable must be 50 micron, terminated with an LC, SC, or ST-type connector. Single-mode fiber optic
cables with SC APC- or LC-type connectors are available. Be careful to not kink or pinch the fiber cable
as it is being installed and keep all bend radii to no less than 3 inches. Connect your fiber cables (L1Tx
to L1Rx, L2Tx to L2Rx, etc.) to the fiber connectors on each pair of SPE Transmitters and Receivers and
dress the cable to prevent crushing, pinching or other damage.
