3.2Making POF Connections

POF Cable

Depending on the model specified, two different sizes of POF cables are supported. One is 1.5mm and the other is 2.2mm in diameter. The following figure illustrates 2.2mm POF and Cat.5 as comparison.

Easy POF Installation

The design of the device enables the POF to be cut and terminated to the exact required length on site, allowing even the most novice user to quickly and easily terminate the bare POF fiber. To terminate the POF cable into OptoLockTM connector, the end of the cable is cut cleanly, and the two strands are separated. One strand is inserted into each of two holes in the termination housing, which is then pressed closed to hold the POF in place.

Note: When cutting the cable, use sharp knife and make a quick cut.

POF Connector

Identify TX and RX holes on OptoLockTM connector before making cable connection.
