PowerStar™ IV
Connecting Fiber Link Cable
NOTE: Fiber link connections are marked on the Slide In Card as
Right or Left. The Right fiber connection provides signals to the Right
Link terminal device connectors; the Left fiber connection provides
signals to the Left Link terminal device connectors. If only one fiber
link is installed, the choice of left or right location is left to the
discretion of the installer.
To connect fiber cable to PowerStar™ IV SIC fiber connector:
1. Be sure that the fiber SIC is installed properly. (See page 9.)
2. For EACH host connection:
•
Locate one (1) TRANSITION Networks Twinax to Fiber
Converter (5250-CV-T-F/11).
•
Locate or build 2-stranded fiber cables that conform to
specifications on page 24, with minimum length of 25
feet (7.6 meters) and maximum length of 3,000 meters
(10,000 feet), and with male TX/RX connectors at both
cable ends.
3. Install Twinax to Fiber 5250 Repeater (5250-CV-T-F/11) at
AS/400, Sys/36, or 5x94 controller port. (See Twinax to Fiber
5250 Repeater User’s Guide 7336 for direction.)
NOTE: Fiber is installed by connecting one strand of the fiber
cable from the TX connector on the 5250 Repeater to the RX
connector on the Slide In Card and by connecting the other
strand of the fiber cable from the RX connector on the 5250
Repeater to the TX connector on the Slide In Card
4. Connect fiber cable from 5250 Repeater to fiber connector on
Slide In Card.
5. Optionally connect second fiber cable from second 5250
Repeater to second fiber connector on Slide In Card, using
steps 3 and 4 above.
