    Matrix using fiber-optic cables at distances of up to 12 miles (20 km). The system consists of one FIM-102D at the Matrix-frame end and another FIM-102D unit at the Matrix-station end. Connecting the pair of interfaces with fiber rather than with the standard 4-wire twisted copper, gives you advantages such as increased security from electromagnetic and RF interference, flexibility in equipment placement, ease of maintenance and often, reduced cost.

  • Page 6: Connecting Intercom Stations To The Central Matrix

    CONNECTING INTERCOM STATIONS TO THE CENTRAL MATRIX The Clear-Com FIM-102D system transmits audio and data signals from 1 or 2 intercom stations or interfaces to the Matrix frame through the process illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 1: Connecting Intercom Stations to the Central Matrix 1-2 ...

The first FIM-102D then transmits the optical signal over up to 12 miles (20 km) of fiber-optical cable to the second FIM-102D unit, where a similar but reverse process occurs to convert the signal back to its original format.
  • Page 9 WARNING: Always use extreme caution with fiber-optic equipment. Never look directly into the light port or into the end of the optical fiber while either FIM-102D unit is operating. Even if you do not see visible light, eye damage is possible.

  • Page 10: Connecting Interface Modules To The Central Matrix

    CONNECTING INTERFACE MODULES TO THE CENTRAL MATRIX With a pair of FIM-102D units you can also remotely connect Clear-Com rack-mounted Matrix 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).

    INSTALLATION UNPACKING When you receive your Clear-Com FIM-102D System, check to make sure you have received all components of the system. The following items make up a Clear-Com FIM-102D: • FIM-102D multiplexer/demultiplexer unit • External power supply You will require two FIM-102D sets to complete a circuit.

    SELECTING AND INSTALLING FIBER-OPTIC CABLE The person installing the FIM-102D units is responsible for providing the fiber optic cable runs. The FIM-102D will operate with either Single-Mode or Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Cable. You will experience the best distance performance when using Single-Mode cable as shown in Table 1.
