Table 2-2 lists signal tolerance speciÞcations for the Multimode Fiber Optic cable
used for front panel connections.
The Fiber Optic cable segments have ST connectors. They are connected by
inserting the connector in the port and then turning it to lock down.
The Receive port of one device is connected to the Transmit port of the other
device as shown in Figure 2-6.
