CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3-6 FOT-F3 USER’S MANUAL
ST connectors attach to ST ports much like BNC connectors
attach to BNC ports. See Figure 3-3. The connector is inserted
into the port with an alignment key on the connector inserted into
the alignment slot on the port. The connector is then turned to
lock it down.
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands and do
not let ends come in contact with contaminants. Contamination
of the ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends
become contaminated, clean them with a soft, clean, lint-free
cloth and alcohol.
Connect the fiber optic cable to the FOT-F3 as follows:
1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic
ports on the FOT-F3 and the ends of the connectors on
each fiber strand. Save the covers and replace them on the
connectors and ports whenever the fiber optic strands are
removed from the FOT-F3.
2. Attach the fiber labeled 1 to the bottom port, labeled RX on
the FOT-F3.
3. Attach the fiber labeled 2 to the top port, labeled TX.
4. At the other end of the fiber optic cable, attach the fiber
labeled 1 to the transmit port of the device.
5. Attach the fiber labeled 2 to the receive port.
