fyouareusingfiberdistributionpanels,confirmthatthetotalopticallossoffibercable,from
theMainHubthroughdistributionpanelsandpatchcordstotheExpansionHub,doesnot
exceedtheopticalbudget.
3 Makesurethefibercable’s
connectorsareSC/APC(angle‐polished).Usinganyother
connectortypewillresultindegradedsystemperformanceandmaydamagethe
equipment.(YoucanuseanSC/APCpigtailifthefibercable’sconnectorsarenotSC/APC.
