    The first FIM-108 unit then converts the multiplexed digital signal into an optical signal. The first FIM-108 unit then transmits the optical signal over up to 12 miles (20 km) of fiber-optic cable (or 1,000 ft. of coaxial cable) to the second FIM-108 unit, where a similar but reverse process occurs to convert the signal back to its original format.

    Table 2: Circuits in the FIM-108 System CONNECTING INTERFACE MODULES TO THE CENTRAL MATRIX With a pair of FIM-108 units you can also remotely connect Clear-Com interface modules to the central matrix. For example, using a Clear-Com CCI-22 dual party-line interface at one end, you can connect two independent, external 2-wire party line systems to the central matrix from a distance of up to 12 miles (20 km).
