Connect the Fiber Module
This module requires a pre-terminated zipcord wiring kit. The kits are offered in
a variety of lengths. Consult with your local distributor for attenuation
specifications before you purchase your fiber media components.
The zipcord uses a duplex cable that contains two separate fibers, one for
transmit and one for receive. If you are wiring only one channel, you can use
either channel 1 or channel 2.
1. Hold down the latch and insert the channel 1 zipcord connector into the
A and B connectors until the pins and latch lock into place.
Make certain you insert the blue pin, receive, of the zipcord connector
in A and the black pin, transmit, into B.
2. Hold down the latch and insert the other end of the duplex cable into
another module by using either channel 1 or channel 2 of the
other module.
IMPORTANT The duplex cable is manufactured with the fiber reversed on
opposite ends. This automatically connects channel A of one unit
to channel B of the other. Do not connect more than one duplex
fiber or two simplex fibers between the same modular repeaters,
even if they are from different modules on the same repeater.
