• Use a custom fiber outdoor cable assembly of sufficient length to directly connect the IFU to
the site equipment interface. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine the required
length for custom cables and to acquire custom cables from a third-party provider. Triton
Network Systems Customer Service will assist in determining proper specifications for
cables if so requested by the customer.
Figure 1-1: Direct IFU-to-Site Equipment Cable Connection
NOTE: The maximum fiber cable length should not exceed 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) for any
single cable, or a total length of 6,600 feet (2,000 meters) for any two fiber cable assemblies
that connect two IFUs installed at the same site. This limitation is governed by the 10BaseFL
specification, which defines a maximum segment length of 1,000 meters.
NOTE: Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show a Fast Ethernet outdoor fiber cable, which has eight
SC connectors. SONET/SDH outdoor fiber cables are similar, but use six SC connectors.
