Fiber Connection Plates
Each fiber connection on LightViper components can be configured with
any of the plates in the diagram. The plates accommodate different fiber
connector types either singly. Four different ST plates accommodate 1, 2,
3, or 4 ST connections. A blank plate should always be installed in an
unused connection bay.
TAC‐4 Installation Instructions
When using TAC‐4 panel mount connectors:
Due to the hermaphroditic nature of the TAC‐4 connector, channels 1 & 4 and
2 & 3 are crossed by necessity. Therefore, pins 1 & 2 should always be
connected to connectors marked TX and pins 3 & 4 should always be
connected to pins marked RX. Pins 1 & 4 are always paired together and pins 2
& 3 will always be paired together.
Important Note: A single TAC‐4 connector and cable contains (4) fibers and
can transport both pairs of fiber inputs/outputs of the EF‐2 on a single
connector / cable. If using Neutrik OpticalCon, two cables / connectors are
required, one for each pair, as the OpticalCon cable and connectors contain
(2) fibers. When using ST fiber connectors on the chassis of the EF‐2, the ST
connectors may be mounted on the rear of the unit, or alternatively on the
front panel of the unit.
