FOX SW8 Connectors
This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful and
dangerous to the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the
attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable
is unplugged.
Singlemode and multimode devices are not interchangeable. Ensure that you
•
connect transmitting and receiving devices that are compatible with the
switcher.
Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your system. Typically,
•
singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange
jacket.
In this guide, the term "sending connector" refers to an LC connector that
•
outputs a fiber optic signal. The term "receiving connector" refers to an LC
connector that receives an optical signal.
AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord into this connector to connect
the switcher to a 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source.
