5. WIRING 5.1 Precautions for Laying Optical Fiber Cables (1) The optical fiber cable type that can be used differs depending on the station to station distance. Type Distance between stations SI optical fiber cable 500 m (1640.5 ft.) H-PCF optical fiber cable 1000 m (3281 ft.) Broad-band H-PCF optical fiber cable 1000 m (3281 ft.)
Page 25
(6) Connect the cable connector and module connector securely until you hear a "click" sound. (7) Please wire IN/OUT of the connector for the cable correctly. Please do loopback test, the set confirmation test, and the bureau order confirmation test after wiring. It might be generated that a baton abnormal passing cannot be generated when miswiring and the downed bureau which cannot do the loopback of an arbitrary bureau do the row again even by the reclosing of the power supply.
