terminal block male receptacles labeled channels

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 6100E units.
Wipe the inside of the sleeve with a lint-free pipe cleaner
moistened with regent-grade isopropyl alcohol. 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 3 shows the connection mechanisms for both
ST and FC connectors.
3. Connect the fibers from one unit to the other connecting
the near end 6100E unit’s optical TX port to the far end
6100E unit’s optical RX port as illustrated in Figure 2-4.
Observe the type of connector you have and connect the
optical connector by following the instructions and
guidelines from the legend provided below.
