5.2 Optical Contact Blocks
Fiber Optic Switches are available with one or two optical contact blocks. The second contact block is
attached to the bottom of the first, to provide two additional optical ports. Each optical contact block contains
two optical ports, with each port having the option of a Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) contact.
! Do not disassemble or unscrew any parts of the optical contact block, as this will affect the optical
alignment of the Fiber Optic Switch causing higher signal losses.
5.3 Inserting FC Connector
Line up the FC Connector key with the key hole in the Fiber Optic Switch. Insert all the way until it cannot be
pushed any further. Once inserted, begin to screw the connector on the thread to the end until the FC
connector touches the flat surface.
! Make sure key is inserted and connector is fully screwed in. Fiber optic signal losses will significantly
increase if not connected properly.
