3.2. Fiber Optic Transceiver Orientation and Connection

Depending on the order code of the product, the RS2000 series products can be equipped with
several 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 facing the top
of the unit. Modules located on the bottom row of the device have locking mechanisms or tabs
facing the bottom of the unit.

The diagrams in this section depict each fiber connector style supported by the RuggedSwitch® in
order to provide a reference for the proper orientation of cable connections. A front view (looking
into the connector) and a top view of the connector module are shown for each one. Note that if
modules are populated on the bottom row of the device, the transceiver orientation will be inverted
relative to the diagram (i.e. RX and TX will be reversed).

3.2.1. Pluggable Fiber Transceiver Modules

The following figures show front and top views of the pluggable fiber transceiver modules
supported by RuggedSwitch®. Note that when the module is installed in the unit, most of the body
of the module as shown in top views below will not be visible.
