•
Fiber Cable: Two strands of fiber are required for singlehead devices, four strands for
Dualhead devices.
Please note, that the allowed distance will depend on device type AND on
used fiber type.
•
Recommended cables:
K462-xx: Multimode type 50/125µ
allowed distance app. 400m (1,300ft)
K462-xx: Multimode type 62.5/125µ allowed distance app. 200m (650ft)
K463-xx: Singlemode type 9/125µ allowed distance app. 10km (32,750ft)
A point to point connection is required. Having one or more patch panels
in the line is possible and allowed. Not allowed is a connection from the
Fiber link interface (LC) to any other products, especially
telecommunications or network equipment.
Our experiences show, that Singlemode devices regularly work well on
Multimode Fibers where vice versa it will never do. In addition we found,
that Singlemode devices on Multimode fibers may extend the allowed
distance on Multimode fibers to twice the regular length. Anyway this
cannot be guaranteed and must be evaluated by the end-user at his own
expense.
