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 250E/260E
units and the user’s device. Clean the fiber optic connector
and use a lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol to thoroughly
wipe the side and end of the ferrule. Table 1 shows the
connection mechanisms for both ST and FC connectors.
3. Cross-connect the fibers from one unit to the other
connecting the near end 250E/260E unit’s optical TX port
to the far end 250E/260E unit’s optical RX port as illustrated
in Figure 2-7. Observe the type of connector you have and
connect the optical connector by following the instructions
and guidelines from the legend provided in Table 1.
