Introduction
The
ViaLite
100Mb/s Ethernet Optical Transceiver and 10/100/1000Mb/s Ethernet Optical Transceiver
are optically coupled link systems that offers a way to incorporate fibre into a Ethernet network,
allowing implementation of a transparent Ethernet segment over long distances and in electrically noisy
or secure environments.
This handbook covers the following
ViaLite
100Mb/s Ethernet Optical Transceiver and
10/100/1000Mb/s Ethernet Optical Transceiver part numbers:
•
Transceiver units with part numbers starting LSX-E2 (100Mb/s only) and LSX-E4
(10/100/1000Mb/s auto negotiating)
•
Optical fibre interconnects with part numbers starting F6 or F7
•
The D-Type-to-RJ45 converter cable, 73636
The Ethernet optical links comprise two Transceivers linked by two Fibre Optic Cables.
The Fibre Optic Cable is single mode fibre type depending on span length, and uses FC/APC type or
E2000/APC connectors.
Care of fibre optic connectors
NB : When the fibre optic cables are not connected, it is essential that the cable and equipment
connectors are protected by the Dust Caps provided with the system. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the fibre ends, which are critical to the system performance.
