Fiber optic connectors —
WARNING: This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to
the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached
dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
unplugged.
NOTE: Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transceivers. Typically,
singlemode fiber cable has a yellow jacket and multimode fiber cable has
an orange or aqua jacket. Also, see
Fiber Compatibility Indications
on
page 9 to determine the compatibility of the transceiver.
Tx —
In any FOX 3G HD-SDI configuration,
for all one-way
HD-SDI, SDI, or
3G-SDI
transmission, connect a fiber optic cable to the Optical Tx LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Optical Rx LC connector on
another FOX 3G HD-SDI transceiver that is configured as either a bidirectional
transceiver or a receiver.
Rx — If the FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as a bidirectional transceiver or
as a receiver,
for one-way communications from the transmitting unit, connect a
fiber optic cable to the Optical Rx LC connector. Connect the free end as detailed
below:
In a 2-transceiver system,
connect the free end of this fiber
optic cable to the Optical Tx LC connector on the transmitting
FOX 3G HD-SDI, which is configured as a transmitter.
In a daisy-chained system,
connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the
Optical Tx LC connector on the previous FOX 3G HD-SDI in the daisy chain.
