1.2.1. Fiber Optic Transceiver Orientation and Connection
Depending on the order code of the product, the M2000 series products can be equipped with several
different types of fiber optic ports. The Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) connections of each port must
be properly connected and matched for proper link and operation. Modules populated on the top row of
the device typically have locking mechanisms or tabs towards the top of the unit. Modules located on
the bottom row of the device have locking mechanisms or tabs towards the bottom of the device.
The drawings in the following figures show each fiber optic connector style with a side and top view
to allow the user to identify the proper cable connection orientation. If modules are populated on the
bottom row of the device, the transceiver orientation will be reversed (i.e. RS and TX will be reversed).
