OPTICAL CONNECTORS AND CLEANING
OPERATIONAL SETUP – RECEIVER (FORWARD PATH)
SC/APC is the standard optical connector. Order conversion kit OTLL-SCFCKIT for
FC/APC connectors. The standard optical connector location is on the same side as the
RF connector. Fiber ends can be damaged by the insertion of contaminated connectors.
Some types of customer damage to connectors are not covered under warranty. Never
leave fiber connectors uncovered. Pre-packaged alcohol wipes or c
can be used to clean optical connectors.
The OTPN-2000C optical receiver, as the last component in a specific optical link, will
provide carrier-to-noise performance and an RF output level that is dependent on the
RF input level to the source optical transmitter and the optical input level to the OTPN-
2000C. The laser modulation and the receiver output level are limited by total optical
power. The RF input level to any optical transmitter is dependent on the number of
channels being transmitted. As the number of carried channels is lowered, the RF input
level to the transmitter can be raised. This results in increased RF levels at the OTPN
receiver. This improves the carrier-to-noise ratio over the link. Transmitters should be
set up using values that represent the maximum number of channels likely to be carried.
