3.1 General
This chapter explains in detail the requirements and procedures for the installation of
the MULTIPLEXER UNIT Standalone/Rack Mount Fiber Optical Multiplexer.
3.2 Site Preparation
Install the MULTIPLEXER UNIT within reach of an easily accessible grounded AC
outlet. The outlet should be capable of furnishing 90 to 250 VAC (20 to 60 VDC for DC
supply). Allow at least 10cm (4 inch) clearance at the rear and front of the MULTIPLEXER
UNIT for signal lines and interface cables.
3.3 Mechanical Assembly
The MULTIPLEXER UNIT is designed for rack mount installation and only requires
1U space (1 3/4") in a standard EIA 19 inch rack. It is highly recommended that the unit be
placed in a rack. The MULTIPLEXER UNIT may or may not be delivered completely
assembled. No provision is made for bolting the MULTIPLEXER UNIT to a tabletop.
