Installation NOTES

CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

AR-CF-02

Install Coax Copper

STAR TOPOLOGY

•MAXIMUM coax segment to active hub is 600 meters (2000 feet) on RG-62 cable; minimum does not apply.

BUS TOPOLOGY

•Devices attached to coax bus must be located AT LEAST six

(6) feet apart.

•MAXIMUM coax bus length is 300 meters (1000 feet); minimum is 1.8 meters (6 feet).

•Device(s) attached to EACH END of bus must be terminated. NOTE: If the media converter is installed at one end of the bus, use the configuration switch to terminate the media converter.

CONFIGURATION SWITCH

NOTE: Set configuration switch (located on the side of media converter) according to site installation requirements:

Switch 1	NOT USED
Switch 2	UP = OFF	Media converter TRANSFERS signal
	DOWN = ON	Media converter TERMINATES signal.

Install Fiber

•Connect one end of first fiber cable to AR-CF-02 media converter TX connector.

•Connect other end of that fiber cable to second AR-CF-02 media converter RX connector.

•Connect one end of second fiber cable to AR-CF-02 media converter RX connector.

•Connect other end of that fiber cable to AR-CF-02 media converter TX connector.

Power

•Locate correct power supply adapter for site installation.

•Connect media converter power connector at end of power supply adapter cord to AR-CF-02 media converter power receptacle.

•Connect 2-prong or 3-prong external power connector on other end of power supply adapter cord to external AC power.

The physical characteristics of the cable must meet or exceed the following:
