2.4.1 Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment to the FEPIM
DIGITAL offers fiber optic cables that use SC style connectors which are
keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and receive fibers.
1. Remove the protective covers from the fiber optic ports and from the
ends of the connectors.
An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be
maintained between like devices so that the transmit port of
one device is connected to the receive port of the other device
and vice versa.
If the fiber optic cable being used has SC style connectors that
do not resemble MIC style connectors, or has SC connectors
on one end and a different type on the other, such as ST
connectors, ensure that the proper crossover occurs.
Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are
not in use to prevent contamination.
Certain FEPIMs use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from
the network adapter.
