General Rules and Recommendations for

Connecting Fibre-Optic Cables

Although fibre-optic cables withstand some misuse, it does require careful handling and routing.

Follow these rules and recommendations when installing fibre-optic cables:

Rule 1

Cross-connect the fibre-optic cable between two 9823-type lightwave transceivers. That is, run the cable from the connector marked TX on one transceiver to the connector marked RX on the other transceiver, and in reverse for the other cable.

Do this for each connection (row) on the Running List contained in the Customer Service Document (CSD) shipped with your system. See Figure 4-12for a sample Running List.

Rule 2

Use the 9823A (shortwave) transceiver for distances of up to 4900 feet. Use the 9823B (longwave) transceiver for distances of up to 25,000 feet. Ensure all 9823As are connected to 9823As and all 9823Bs are connected to the corresponding 9823Bs.
