2.0 SETUP
The BCI 285E Series units are used in pairs. Equal transceivers are

two optical fibers. Connections are one to one between both units. For
WDM applications, the 285E units are configurable for one fiber
connectivity. Figure 2-1 illustrates typical installations for the 285E.

285E requires two parts to the cabling setup: the electrical and
