Installing the Fiber Optic
Cable(s) 1. Using a meter, test the voltage across the AC line, and across the DC bus.
2. Connect the cables to the R2R boards according to Figure 3. Routing
paths for cables are given in publication 2364P-5.01, Parallel
Configuration–User Manual.
Inspection Precaution: Sharp bends, kinks, and deep nicks in the cable
may greatly affect the performance of the fiber cable. Replacement may
be necessary in these cases.
