2.0 SETUP
The Link Bridge LBO-USB Series units are used in pairs. One
LBO-USB-H (Host) transceiver unit is located at the near end and
connected through two optical fibers to LBO-USB-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 LBO-USB properly, make sure to observe
the following instructions when installing the proper cables. The
LBO-USB requires two parts to the cabling setup: the electrical
and the optical.
