Figure 3. Optical Ports (Transceiver Sockets)
Use the following procedure to install the forward and reverse path optical fibers and to connect
them to the SDR PCIx Host card:
1. Obtain the required lengths of single-mode fiber optic cable.
2. Route the fiber optic cable between the SDR PCIx Host card and the remote (radio head)
unit (if not already routed) and cut to required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and
organizing the cables at each unit. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 2 inches (50 mm).
3. Terminate each optical fiber with a field-installable LC type fiber optic connector as
shown in Figure 4. Follow the instructions provided by the connector manufacturer for
installing the connector.
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may
result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood
MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid
the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt
particles from entering the transceiver or connector.
Note: Maximum path length for 9/125 single-mode fiber optical fiber is 10 km (32,808 ft.).
