SFP Installation
Installation of the SFP module is easily accomplished by removing the Fiber plate using
a Philips screwdriver. Remove the silicone seal located directly under the Fiber plate.
Using the SFP module purchased from Trango, simply slide the module into the SFP
receptacle until it locks into place. The Apex unit will auto detect the module and allow
use of the interface. Properly install and connect the fiber optic cable (described later in
this chapter) and you can now use your Gigabit Fiber connection.

Direct DC power connection
If you wish to use a direct DC connection to power up your Trango LINK Apex, please
remove the fiber cover and locate the 2 pin MOLEX receptacle. Terminate your DC
cable (AWG 16 or smaller) to the MOLEX connector which is included with your fiber kit
(sold separately). Connect the MOLEX connector to the receptacle and properly install
the DC power cable through the Fiber plate (described later in this chapter).
