Installation Considerations

This fiber-optic link is supplied as
a Standalone/Rack module.
Units should be installed in dry
locations protected from extremes
of temperature and humidity.

Standalone Module:

The unit is provided with a mounting
plate with holes for two No. 6 pan
head screws (3-mm or 3.55-mm).
Attach the module to a solid piece
of wood using two No. 6 pan head
wood screws with a minimum
penetration into the wood of
3/4 inch. (Screws not supplied)
See figure 1.
1. Determine where the module will be
installed, and ensure that there is
adequate space at both ends for
making the various cable
connections and for reading the
diagnostic LEDs.
2. Attach the module to a flat surface
using two mounting screws.
