Note: Fiber connections: Connection distances will depend on existing cable infrastructure.
Using a transceiver with a fiber connection
You may wish to connect a Arcadia Central Station to a splitter (FSII-SPL) using Fiber. In this
case, you need to install Fiber modules to the Arcadia Central Station and the splitter.
l Modules are available for single mode Fiber cable (HLI-SMFO) and multi-mode Fiber
cable (HLI-MMFO)
l Modules, which must be ordered from Clear-Com are supplied as a pair, one for the
Arcadia Central Station and one for the splitter.
l Modules can be hot patched, no need to power off devices.
l To install the modules, simply remove the dust cap from the connector port and slide the
module into the connector.
Note: When using a Fiber connection, all devices must have local power supplied.
Cable Length Offset (E1)
Cable length offset is used to prevent the DECT or radio signals between transceivers getting
out of synchronization. If transceivers are not synchronized, beltpack handover will not happen
effectively. This is particularly important if you have overlapping transceiver coverage zones
(RF cells) or the beltpacks need to move between coverage zones.
Cable length offset or transceiver sync compensation needs to be set when:
l The distance in total cable length between transceivers is ≥ 1640ft / 500m (this includes
both fiber and copper cable runs).
Example
TCVR #1: total cable length = 328ft /100m
