Connecting a Matrix Frame with Remote Belt Packs
Fig. 3-3: Connecting a Matrix Frame with Remote Belt Packs
Connect the Intercom Matrix (1) and CommLink FXC-S201 Unit "A" (2). Run a Fiber Cable
(single or dual strand, as required) (3) between CommLink FXC-S201 Units “A” (2) and "B" (4)
and power the CommLink FXC-S201 using the appropriate power supply (5).
Connect your intercom Belt Packs in normal daisy chain fashion to the CommLink FXC-
S201. The number of Belt Packs will depend on whether they are self-powered or are
powered by the CommLink FXC-S201. When powered by the CommLink FXC-S201, you can
expect 5 units to work per channel depending on cable runs
Remember that for a single-fiber solution, CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Links
"A" and “B” must have different WDM factors. You must use a WDM @1550nm unit at one
end of the fiber cable and a WDM@1310 at the other end of the fiber cable.
