Connecting and disconnecting the fiber cable
Notice | |
Risk of damage to the cable! To disconnect the optical fiber cable always pull the connector to release the locking mechanism - never pull the optical fiber cable itself. |
 | Crossover cables Please note that when connecting the CU1521, CU1521-0010 to the remote station, it may be necessary to use "crossed" cables in order to establish a connection. Practical tip: The infrared light emission can be made visible with some digital/mobile phone cameras (see figure Visualization of infrared light at the SC Duplex connector), whether the camera used can receive the IR wavelengths; must be checked in each individual case. Avoid 'light meeting light' when connecting the optical fiber cable (Tx -> Tx). In this case no connection can be established, and you have to cross the cables (Tx -> Rx). |
| Use of blind plugs To protect the transceiver from environmental influences, unused connection socket should be sealed with the blind plugs provided! See Fig.: Blind plugs in unused sockets |
