Installing Fiber into Input/Output Cards
Step 1: Grasp the LC connector of the fiber optic cable by the sides and remove the dust cap.
Warning! Laser in use! Do not look directly into the opening.
Step 2: Carefully insert the fiber connector into the SFP+ port until it locks into place.
Removing Fiber from Input/Output Cards
Step 1: The LC connector has a locking feature that can be released by depressing the latch-release tab
located on the top of the connector. With the tab depressed, slowly remove the cable by pulling the connector
straight out of the SFP+ port.
Warning! Laser in use! Do not look directly into the opening.
Step 2: Immediately install a dust cap on the ferrule to protect the fiber tip and install a dust cap into the SFP if
another fiber is not immediately installed.
Connecting to Thinklogical Velocity Extenders
VX Routers are designed to work with any Thinklogical product designed with the MRTS technology (e.g.
Velocity Extenders). VX Routers and Velocity Extenders are a new, unique class of cost-effective matrix
switching and KVM extension designed for a variety of high-performance computing environments. Comprised
of a fiber-in, fiber-out matrix switch and a fiber-optic KVM extender (with a transmitter and receiver), this
complete system provides transparent and secure routing, switching and extension of video and high-speed
data peripherals to remote destinations with ease.
BEFORE STARTING ANY PROCEDURE, IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY!
Connecting to the Receiver
The Velocity Receiver serves as the Destination (desktops, theaters, conference rooms, editing suites, control
consoles, video walls, etc). Depending on your configuration, your KMASS devices (audio, keyboard, mouse,
etc) are first connected to the Receiver using standard cables. Power can then be supplied to the unit. The
Receiver then connects to the VX Router SFP+ ports using fiber (Multi-mode fiber for distances up to 1000m;
Single-mode fiber for distances beyond 1000m).
