3.5. Connection between the Switch and R-series Endpoints
L3 network switches are built with SFP+ slots, the R-series devices are built with Neutrik opticalCON DUO
and QUAD fiber optical connections. This section is about how to establish connection between the switch
and the R-series endpoint devices over the different type of connectors.
3.5.1. SFP+ to Neutrik opticalCON DUO
This method is working with the following endpoint models:
▪ UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-R100 2xMM-2xDUO
▪ UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-2xDUO
Connecting Steps
Step 1. Insert 2 pcs 10GbE singlemode/multimode SFP+ transceiver modules to the SFP+ slots of the
network switch.
Step 2. You need 2 pcs singlemode/multimode Neutrik opticalCON DUO series connectors and 2 pcs
singlemode/multimode fiber optical patch cables with LC duplex connectors. Connect the SFP+
modules and the back of the Neutrik opticalCON DUO connector by the patch cables (a standard LC
duplex connector can be found on the back of the Neutrik opticalCON DUO connector).

TIPS AND TRICKS: The extra Neutrik
connectors can be assembled to a blank
1U high rack shelf which can make easier
the mounting of the connectors and the
cabling.
Step 3. Establish connection between the additional Neutrik opticalCON DUO connectors and the R100
endpoint device by 2 pcs singlemode/multimode Neutrik opticalCON DUO series cables. The
following figure shows the correct cabling layout of optical connectors on the R100 endpoint device:

ATTENTION!
Always be sure that the fiber optical mode of the entire fiber optical equipment (SFP+
modules, LC patch cables, Neutrik connectors, and cables) and R100 endpoint device are the same.
Connecting to the 2xMM-2xDUO model requires multimode equipment, connecting to the 2xSM-2xDUO model
requires singlemode equipment.

INFO: This method does not work in case of using DAC cables in the network switch.
This method is working with the following endpoint models:
▪ UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-R100 2xMM-QUAD
▪ UBEX-PRO20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-QUAD
Connecting Steps
Step 1. Insert 2 pcs 10GbE singlemode/multimode SFP+ transceiver modules to the SFP+ slots of the
network switch.
Step 2. You need a singlemode/multimode Neutrik opticalCON QUAD series connector and 2 pcs singlemode/
multimode fiber optical patch cables with LC duplex connectors. Connect the SFP+ modules and the
back of the Neutrik opticalCON QUAD connector by the patch cables (2 pcs standard LC duplex
connectors can be found on the back of the Neutrik opticalCON QUAD connector).
TIPS AND TRICKS:
The extra Neutrik
connector can be assembled to a blank
1U high rack shelf which can make easier
the mounting of the connectors and the
cabling.
Step 3. Establish connection between the additional Neutrik opticalCON QUAD connector
and the R100 endpoint device by a singlemode/multimode Neutrik opticalCON
QUAD series cable. The following figure shows the correct cabling layout of extra
QUAD optical connector (the back of the extra connector can be seen on the right).
