Optical Connectors of the WCM

Four optical connectors are located on the front panel of the WCM:

•One local Rx connector (L/R) for local signal input

•One local Tx connector (L/T) for local signal output

•One remote Rx connector (R/R) for remote signal input

•One remote Tx connector (R/T) for remote signal output

Use MiniSC connectors, also called MUPC connectors. See the “Connecting WCMs to MUX and DMX Modules” section on page 5-2 for more information. The front panel of the WCM is shown in Figure 1-9.

Note Some WCMs have a sticker in the middle of the faceplate with the channel number, release status, and wavelength and fiber type of the local and remote ports.
