A simple power loss test can inform us about the condition of the fibers. This test consists of measuring with an optical power meter the output power at one end of the tested fiber as at the other end a fiber source is connected. If the values are in dBm, the difference between the input power and the output power gives the power attenuation of the fiber (in dB).

In case the above equipment is not available, a simple visual test may be performed to locate and reject badly damaged fibers. Place near one end of the fiber a light source and block alternatively the termination, you must observe the light coming out of the other end. (This procedure does not guarantee that a fiber is acceptable)

A standard 62.5μm fiber optic cable is characterised by an attenuation factor of around 3 to 5dB/km. Then a loss value of more than 3dB for runs up to 200m can indicate a suspect fiber.

Note

The fiber optic cables must be installed by a specialist.

HANDLE THE FIBERS VERY CAREFULLY.

2.ForTS5000/ETH

Type

For connecting the Transceiver to the peripheral equipment a 2 pairs STP cable is required (one pair for the transmission and one for the reception). This cable must be a straight one when the peripheral has an MDI-X 10 Base T interface and a Gross one otherwise.

Connectors

The cable should be terminated with an RJ-45 connector on the Transceiver end.

3. ForTS5000/4U1(4E1or4T1)

Type: For connecting the Transceiver to the peripheral equipment a 2 pairs STP cable is required (one pair for the transmission and the other for the reception) for each E1 or T1 connection.

Connectors A special connector is provided by MRV to connect the twisted pair cables to the TS.
