Optical Cable:

The AC1037A operates with most single mode (SM) optical bers. However, be aware

that the type of ber you use will affect the system’s loss budget and the maximum

transmission distance that it can support.

Troubleshooting:

Multimode ber optic cable contains an optical ber with a light carrying “core” that is

only .0025 inches (62.5 microns) in diameter. Single mode ber optic cable has an even

smaller “core,” only .00032 to .0004 inches (8-10 microns). This is smaller than a human

hair!

Therefore, any minute particles of dirt or dust can easily block the ber from accepting

or radiating light. To prevent this from happening, always use the provided dust caps

whenever optical connectors are exposed to air. It is also a good idea to gently clean the

tip of an optical connector with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol whenever dust is

suspected.

The status of the VIDEO and AUDIO indicator LEDs should provide the rst clue as to the

origin of an operational failure. If these are off, it usually means that the ber is broken or

has too much attenuation. Next, be certain that the input and output signal connections are

correct.

If, after reviewing the above possibilities, the system is still not operating, please contact

the Customer Service Department for further assistance.

Maintenance:

The only maintenance of the AC1037A system that can be provided by the user is to

ascertain that the optical connectors are free of dust or dirt that could interfere with light

transmission and that electrical connections are secure and accurate. DANGER! Always

disconnect the transmitter power before removing the optical ber from the unit! For as-

sistance with all other repairs, please contact Black Box technical support.
