7.Make sure transmit and receive cables are:

❑Clearly marked or color-coded.

❑Connected to the appropriate ports on the 10BASE-FB Module.

❑Properly cleaned with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning solution before installation.

Note: Do not exceed the bend radius for the fiber cable when directing the cables under the concentrator. Refer to the cable manufacturer's specifications for minimum bend radius.

8.Attach the other ends of the cables to either:

❑Another 10BASE-FB module

❑3Com 10BASE-FB Star Coupler port

❑3Com 10BASE-FB Transceiver
