Installation Guide (J3192C, and J3193B) 1998-07

When power has been supplied to the HP networking device or device

module into which the transceiver is installed, check the port LED that

pertains to the transceiver on the device. If the transceiver is receiving a

signal properly, the port LED should be ON. If the port LED is OFF, see

“Troubleshooting” on page 18.

Cabling for an HP 100Base-FX Fiber-Optic Transceiver

The HP 100Base-FX Fiber-Optic Transceiver connects an HP networking

device to a fiber-optic network using SC connectors. This transceiver is

compatible with the IEEE 802.3u protocol and its wavelength is 1300nm.

Optical fibers used with this transceiver should be multimode, graded-index

optical fiber with nominal 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter

complying with the ITU-T G.651 standard and A1b or A1a fiber respectively

of the IEC 793-2 standard.

Connecting the Fiber-Optic

Cable . To connect a fiber-optic

cable to a transceiver:

1. Remove the plastic dust

covers from the cable connec-

tors. Then use your fingers to

pull the cover off of the trans-

ceiver.

2. Match the tabs on the bottom

of the connectors to the slots

in the transceiver’s jack. See

the illustration.

3. Press the connector into the

jack so that the tabs on the

connector slide into the slots

in the jack and the connector

snaps securely into place.

4. If you are using cable with SC

duplex connectors, as shown

in the illustration, both cables are connected simultaneously. When

power is applied to this transceiver in its module or networking device,

the port LED should be ON. If the LED is off, see Troubleshooting on

page 18. To determine distances between devices, use the following

chart.
