Install Your Fiber Repeater Modules and Repeater Adapters Appendix A
Connect a 1786-RPFS
Module The 1786-RPFS 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.
See page 66 for using a tracer on a duplex cable.
