INTRODUCTION
Figure 1-1. FOT-F3
A fiber optic cable is connected to the transceiver through
ST fiber optic ports on the FOT-F3. This provides an
optical link to connect the device to the network. The fiber
optic link segment can run from the FOT-F3 to any
Ethernet FOIRL compatible fiber optic device.
Distance and Cable Type
The FOT-F3 supports single mode fiber optic cable for
sizes such as 8.3/125 µm, 8.7/125 µm, 9/125 µm, and
10/125 µm. You can also use multi mode cable such as
62.5/125 µm, but signal distance will be much shorter.
The signal distance is dependent on the cable type and
the overall system fiber optic budget. If the system
budgets and timing constraints are met, then a distance of
over ten kilometers is possible with single mode cable. If
using 62.5/125 multi mode cable, signal distance will be
about 2 km.
