Connecting to Fiber Cabling

A fiber cable segment is used for point-to-point connections.
When using two simplex cables:
1. Connect one end of the first cable to the hub's Tx connector
and the other end to the Rx connector on the other device.
2. Connect one end of the second cable to the hub's Rx con-
nector and the other end to the Tx connector on the other
device.
When using one duplex cable:
1. Differentiate the two fiber strands by banding one strand at
both ends, as shown below.
2. Connect one end of the banded strand to the hub's Tx con-
nector and the other end to the Rx connector on the other
device.
3. Connect one end of the remaining strand to the hub's Rx
connector and the other end to the Tx connector on the
other device.
