1.2DOCUMENT CONVENTIONS

The following conventions are used throughout this document:

NOTE

!

C AUT IO N

Caution symbol. Contains information essential to avoid damage to the equipment.

Warning symbol. Warns against an action that could result in equipment damage, personal injury or death.

1.3FIBER OPTIC MEDIA INTERFACE MODULES

Cabletron Systems Fiber Optic Media Interface Modules provide a choice of six, twelve, or eighteen ports with ST connectors.

NOTE

The FOMIM-32/36/38 use 1300 nm wavelength transmitters and receivers (not the 850 nm specified by FOIRL) and should be used only with the Cabletron Systems Ethernet single mode transceiver, the FOT-F3.

1.3.1Distance and Cable Type

The FOMIMs support single mode fiber optic cable for sizes such as 8.3/125 ∝m, 8.7/125 ∝m, 9/125 ∝m, 10/125 ∝m, and 12/125 ∝m. The cable distance is dependent on the cable type and the overall system fiber optic budget. If the system budgets and timing constraints are met, then a distance of up to 5 kilometers is possible. You can also use 62.5/125 ∝m multimode cable with the FOMIM, but due to greater optical loss, signal distance is reduced to 2 km.
