10BASE-FL/FOIRL (Optical Fiber) Connection
The AT-1700FT provides both an RJ45 for 10BASE-T Ethernet
and ST-type transmit and receive connectors for 10BASE-FL or
FOIRL Ethernet network segments. Maximum segment length
is 1000 meters (3279 ft.) for FOIRL and 2000 meters (6558 ft.) for
10BASE-FL. (See Figure 6.)
Hazardous light emissions may exist in fiber optic
systems. Severe eye damage may result if
precautions are not taken. Never look into a
transmitting fiber optic device, transceiver, repeater,
or cable.
In a 10BASE-FL or FOIRL segment, the cables connect the
transmit receptacle at one end of the segment to the receive
receptacle at the other end and vice versa.
