Installation In This Chapter This chapter provides instructions for installing the FSS-6800 and FDS-6800 series into the frame, and cabling details. When installed, the modules are not visible through DashBoard nor SNMP and there are no card-edge controls. The following topics are discussed: •...
DFR-8300 Series User Manual. Unpacking Unpack each Passive Optical Splitter you received from the shipping container and ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative or Ross Video directly. Working with Fiber Optic Connectors Keep the following in mind when working with fiber optic connectors: •...
Installing a Passive Optical Splitter An installed Passive Optical Splitter blocks the card slots in the frame so that the modules are not damaged if a user attempts to slide a card into the slot occupied by the Passive Optical Splitter. This section outlines how to install a rear module, and then the Passive Optical Splitter in a DFR-8321 series frame.
Installing a Passive Optical Splitter All the components are enclosed in a metal box that fits into the frame card guides. The Passive Optical Splitters latch to the rear module to prevent accidental removal when the fiber optic cables are installed. This section outlines how to install a Passive Optical Splitter in a DFR-8321 series frame.
Cabling for the Passive Optical Splitters This section provides information for connecting cables to the installed Passive Optical Splitter. Connect the input and output cables according to the following sections. Notice — Every time you are required to insert a connector into a device or mating sleeve, you must clean the connector.
The limited space between connectors and the accumulated fiber optic cables around the rear modules makes it difficult to gain access to individual connectors. Ross Video supplies an Optic Cable Tool to assist in the installing and removal of individual fiber optic LC connectors. The Optic Cable Tool can be used with single-latch, dual-latch, and duplex-latch connectors.

Position the bottom lip of the Optic Cable Tool on the connector boot, ensuring that the top lip makes contact just behind the notch at the end of the latch. (Figure 2.8) Figure 2.8 Positioning the Optic Cable Tool —...
