Cabletron Systems EMC38-12 manual Connecting a Fiber Optic Link Segment

CONNECTING A FIBER OPTIC LINK SEGMENT

We recommend that you label the fiber optic cable to indicate which fiber is Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, it is labeled so that: at one end of the cable, one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2. This pattern is repeated at the other end of the cable. If you did not purchase your cable from Cabletron Systems, be sure you label your cable as described above.

Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of the ends can cause problems in data transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, clean them with alcohol using a soft, clean, lint free cloth.

To connect a fiber optic link segment to the EMC38-12:

1.Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the applicable port on the module and from the ends of the connectors on each fiber strand.

2.Attach the fiber labeled 1 to the applicable receive port, labeled RX, on the module. See Figure 3-2.
