General Rules and Recommendations for
Connecting Fibre-Optic Cables
Although fibre-optic cables withstand some misuse, it does require careful
handling and routing.
Follow these rules and recommendations when installing fibre-optic cables:
Rule 1
Cross-connect the fibre-optic cable between two 9823-type lightwave
transceivers. That is, run the cable from the connector marked TX on one
transceiver to the connector marked RX on the other transceiver, and in reverse
for the other cable.
Do this for each connection (row) on the Running List contained in the Customer
Service Document (CSD) shipped with your system. See Figure 4-12 for a
sample Running List.
Rule 2
Use the 9823A (shortwave) transceiver for distances of up to 4900 feet. Use the
9823B (longwave) transceiver for distances of up to 25,000 feet. Ensure all
9823As are connected to 9823As and all 9823Bs are connected to the
corresponding 9823Bs.
