2.0 SETUP
The BCI 4900 Series units are used in pairs. One 4900-H (Host)
transceiver unit is located at the near end and connected through two
optical fibers to 4900-D (Device) transceiver located at the far end of the
link. Each unit provides an electrical interface connector for the USB
data signals. Figure 2-1 depicts a typical installation.

2.1 Mounting
Before installing the units into your housing, make sure there is
enough space to pull and connect both the electrical and optical
cables without stressing them beyond the manufacturer’s
limitations (also known as the bend radius minimum). Rack
mount kits are available for half-size versions only, with internal
power supplies.
2.2 Cabling and Connectors
In order to setup the BCI 4900 properly, make sure to observe
the following instructions when installing the proper cables. The
4900 requires two parts to the cabling setup: the electrical and
the optical.
