2.2.2 Optical Fiber Connection
Most cable manufacturers identify individual fibers in the
fiber cable. Select an appropriate terminated fiber. Each
unit’s optical ports in the system are specified for use with
Multimode (62.5/125 micron) fiber, or Singlemode (9/125
micron) fiber. Follow the ensuing instructions for installing
and connecting the fiber optic links:
1. Ensure the power is off before proceeding with the fiber
optic cable installation.
2. Prior to connecting the fiber optic cables, remove and
save the dust caps from the optical port of both the
Mini-3GHD units and the user’s device. Clean the fiber
optic connector and use a lint-free cloth dampened with
alcohol to thoroughly wipe the sides and end of the
ferrule.
3. Cross-connect the fibers from one unit to the other
connecting the near end Mini-3GHD unit’s optical TX
port to the far end Mini-3GHD unit’s optical RX port as
illustrated in Figure 2-3. Observe the type of connector
you have and connect the optical connector by referring
to the legend provided in Table 1, and following the
instructions and guidelines.
