A.6 Fiber Optic Interface
FCD-IPM equipped with a fiber optic main link can be used to provide a secure
link in hazardous or hostile environments, increase the maximum connection
range, and achieve immunity against electrical interference and protection against
the deleterious effects of ground loops.
The fiber optic main link interface is terminated in two ST, FC/PC or SC
connectors, in accordance with order. Table A-5 lists the various available fiber
optic interface types and their main specifications (Maximum ranges are calculated
assuming a 3 dB margin).

All the fiber optic interface options offer high performance and have a wide
dynamic range. This ensures that the receiver will not saturate even when using
short fiber optic cables (saturation is caused when the optical power applied to the
receiver exceeds its maximum allowed input power, and results in very high bit
error rates).
