Install Your Fiber Repeater Modules and Repeater Adapters Appendix A
4. At the second module, connect the cables in reverse.
For example, tracer to TX port on module 1, non-tracer to RX port on
module 1: tracer to RX port on module 2, non-tracer to TX port
on module 2.
Terminate the Cable
Termination is the process of attaching connectors to the ends of fiber cable.
Follow these general instructions when terminating fiber cable.
1. Organize your termination kit materials.
2. Reference your plan to be certain that you have enough supplies to make
the fiber connections and to terminate all used fiber cable ends.
3. Make a schedule for performing the connections.
4. Follow the assembly and safety procedures for your termination kit.
5. Place a dust cap (supplied in fiber cable kits) on the end of the connector.
ATTENTION: Do not look directly into the optical port to avoid
damage to your eyes.
ATTENTION: Safety glasses are required to protect your eyes when you
handle chemicals and cut fiber. Pieces of glass fiber are very sharp and
can easily damage the cornea of your eye.
Cleaved glass fibers are very sharp and can pierce the skin easily. Do not let
cut pieces of fiber stick to your clothing or drop in the work area where they
can cause injury later. Use tweezers to pick up cut or broken pieces of the
glass fibers and place them on a loop of tape kept for that purpose alone.
Keep your work area clean.
IMPORTANT Be certain to follow the instructions that are provided by your fiber
termination kit manufacturer.
ATTENTION: If this equipment is used in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
