  • Page 15: Care And Handling Of Optical Fiber

    Evertz recommends that the user maintains a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the frame that does not have a suitable I/O module.

  • Page 16: Hardware Installation

    To successfully install the 7880IPG-NAT, you will require the following: 1. Unused IP address on the network 2. Evertz serial cable Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn.
