2. Once the Launch Mode Conditioning cable ➀ is connected to the ends of the multimode fiber

optic cable

➃, proceed to Section 3.8.4 to complete the installation to the GPIM-09 device.

3.8.4 Network Connection Using Fiber Optic Cable

To connect the device using fiber optic cable to the network, perform the following steps:

1. Remove any protective covers from the fiber optic ports and from the ends of the connectors.

➀

Launch Mode Conditioning Cable

➂

Long Wavelength Gigabit Fiber Optic Device

➁

Multimode Fiber Optic Cables

➃

Ends of the Multimode Fiber Optic Cables and Launch

Mode Conditioning Cables Connections

NOTE: If connecting the device with a GPIM-09 to the network using multimode fiber

optic cables, refer to Section 3.8.3 before following this procedure.

WARNING: The GPIM-08 and GPIM-09 use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical

instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output

increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed

from the network adapter.

NOTE: To prevent contamination, leave the protective covers in place when the

connectors or ports are not in use.

CAUTION: Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let the ends

come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends

causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends of the fiber optic strands become

contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean. A fiber port cleaning

swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also be used to clean the ends.
