Install Your Fiber Repeater Modules and Repeater Adapters
3.
Loop the wires through the ferrite.
4.
Close the ferrite.
Be careful not to damage the wires.
5.
Strip approximately 6 mm (0.24 in.) of wire from the end that will connect
to the relay contact connector on the 1786-RPFRL/B or
1786-RPFRXL/B module.
6.
Remove the relay contact connector from the 1786-RPFRL/B or
1786-RPFRXL/B module.
7.
Install the stripped ends of the wires in the relay contact connector on the
fiber repeater module as shown below.
8.
Reinsert the relay contact connector into the 1786-RPFRL/B or
1786-RPFRXL/B module.
9.
Connect the fiber cable as described on
10.
If you plan not to use a channel, attach a small section of fiber cable (or a
Simplex fiber loop) between the Receive port (RX) and the Transmit port
(TX) of any unused fiber port to create a jumper.
Although not required for module operation, the jumper turns the status
indicators green and prevents the relay contact connector from opening
and indicating a failure.
Connect the ferrite here.
