A-6 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual
CONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev D
* Exceeding the distance of copper-clad cable will result in the attached RAU becoming
non-functional. If the distance of a cable run is at its maximum and is of concern, ADC recom-
mends the use of solid copper cable to ensure successful operation.
A.2 Fiber Optical Cables
• Connects the Main Hub to Expansion Hub(s)
• Transmits (downlink) and receives (uplink) optical signals
• Carries configuration and status information
• Use industry-standard 62.5µm/125µm MMF or Corning SMF-28 fiber, or equiva-
lent.
• SC/APC (angle-polished) connectors are required throughout the fiber network
(port-to-port), including fiber distribution panels
