Inspect the fiber ends and clean them with clean, dry compressed air
or with Kim-Wipes that have been saturated with isopropyl alcohol.
Fingerprints or other dirt on the optical connector end surfaces will
reduce the received optical signal level.
CONNECTING FIBER-OPTIC CABLE TO THE
FIM-202D
Figure 2-1: ST Optical Connections on an FIM-202D Unit's Front Panel
Refer to Figure 2-1 before connecting the optical fiber to the ST optical
connectors on the FIM-202D unit’s front panel.
The FIM-202D is compatible with industry standard ST-type
connectors. You may use installed backbone cables or dedicated
cables with it.
Always follow the connector manufacturer’s directions when fastening
a connector to the cable.
On a two-fiber system, connect the cables so that:
• transmitter ST “Fiber Out” at the near end connects to receiver ST
“Fiber In” at the far end and
• transmitter ST “Fiber Out” at the far end connects to receiver ST
“Fiber In” at the near end.
Figure 2-2 illustrates the entire wiring scheme for the FIM-202D
system.
