FIBER LINK

3. Installation

To install the Fiber Link, you will physically install the modules, connect the optical fiber, connect the input and output electrical signals, and connect power to the fiberoptic modules. Then you’ll verify correct system operation.

3.1 Physical Installation

The Fiber Link is a standalone module. Install Fiber Links in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.

1.Determine where you want to install the module, and make sure that there’s adequate space at both ends for making various cable connections and reading the diagnostic LEDs.

2.The Fiber Link has mounting holes for four No. 6 screws (3-mm screws).

Standalone Enclosures:

CAUTION

Make sure that the enclosure is not connected to any power source.

Look inside the enclosure to determine the location of the socket for the edge connector on the card. Orient the card so that it will seat in the socket, and slide it into the card guides in the enclosure until the edge connector at the back of the card seats in the socket. Seating may require gently pressing on the ends of the card’s front panel.
