3.2.1Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”

The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6K16V module, MST-type port.

1.Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the tips of the connectors on the PM. Save these dust caps for future use.

2.Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.

Note: One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.

3.Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum PM to the Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.

4.Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post on the PM) to the Transmit

(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.

5.The LINK LED on the front of the PM will illuminate when a proper connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the unit). If LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal cause is improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables at the PM connector to remedy this situation.

3.2.2Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"

The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with SC-type fiber

connectors, i.e., using 6K-MSC, 6K-SSC single-mode.

When connecting fiber media to SC connectors, simply snap on the two square male connectors into the SC female jacks of the 6KPM until it clicks and secures.

3.2.3Connecting Single-Mode Fiber Optic

When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port

connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode fiber cable
