3.2.1 Fiber Optical Transceiver Orientation and Connection
Depending on the order code of the product, the M2000 series products can be equipped with
different types of fiber optic ports. The Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) connections of each port
must be properly connected and matched for proper link and operation. Modules populated on the
top row of the device typically have locking mechanisms or tabs towards the top of the unit.
Modules located on the bottom row of the device have locking mechanisms or tabs towards the
bottom of the device.
The drawings in the following figures show each fiber optical connector style with a side and top
view to allow the user to identify the proper cable connection orientation. If modules are populated
on the bottom row of the device, the transceiver orientation will be reversed (i.e. RX and TX will be
reversed).
