Chapter 5 NPE-G1 Overview
Connection Equipment and Specifications
Figure 5-10 shows the simplex and duplex SC-type connectors on your multimode or single-mode
optical fiber cables. For simplex connectors, two cables are required, one cable for transmit (TX) and a
second cable for receive (RX). For duplex connectors, only one cable that has both TX and RX
connectors is required. You can use either simplex or duplex connectors for the NPE-G1.
