Appendix A - Optional 100Base-FX module

The 100Base-FX module is an optional module which enables connectivity (as the thirteenth port) using multi-mode duplex 62.5/125 fiber-optic cable. Fiber- optic cable provides better immunity to electromagnetic interference and sup- ports longer cable lengths compared to copper wire. The 100Base-FX module may be used to connect the hub to either a 100Base-FX workstation or another 100Base-FX hub. The maximum cable length for a workstation connection is 1350 feet (412 meters). The maximum cable length for a hub connection is 688 feet (210 meters).

Installing the 100Base-FX module

The 100Base-FX module is an option to allow the FHX1200 Stackable hub to support fiber-optic cable. Follow the directions below to install the 100Base-FX module.

1.Disconnect the hub from the electrical outlet.

2.Place the hub on a flat and steady surface.

3.Remove the 4 bracket screws from the 100Base-FX port of the stackable hub and remove the mounting bracket (See Figure 7).

4.Carefully insert the 100Base-FX module into the 100Base-FX port of the hub.

5.Use the screws removed in step 3 to fasten the 100Base-FX module into place.

Connecting cables to the 100Base-FX port

1.Connect one end of a fiber-optic cable into the TX connector of the first hub. Connect the other end of this cable into the RX connector of the second hub.

2.Connect one end of a second fiber-optic cable into the RX connec- tor of the first hub. Connect the other end of this cable into the TX connector of the second hub.

Do not connect fiber-optic cables from TX to TX or RX to RX on different hubs.
