Connector and Cable Types 

All 

ViaLite

  Ethernet  Transceiver  modules  use  singlemode  (9µm/125µm)  cable  terminated  with  either 

FC/APC  or  E2000/APC  optical  connectors.    Cross-site  fibre  optic  cables  are  available  from  PPM  as 
either standard patch leads or heavy-duty multicore cables. 
 

Warning! 
FC/APC  and  E2000APC  are  standards  for  angle-polished  connectors  and  must  not  be  confused 
with  standard  FC/PC  and  E2000  connectors  respectively.    The  two  connector-types  are  not 
interchangeable  and  mating  one  with  the  other  will  damage  both  the  cable  and  the  module 
connectors. 
 

 

The specification of the FC/APC and E2000APC optical connector is critical to the performance 
of  the  complete  fibre  optic  link.  System  performance  can  only  be  guaranteed  with  fibre  optic 
cables  and  connectors  supplied  by  PPM.    FC/APC  connectors  must  be  “narrow  key  width”  (see 
technical specification). 

2.2.2

 

Connecting and Disconnecting 

Before  connecting  optical  fibres  to  the  module  or  to  each other, ensure that the mating connectors are 
clean (see below). 

2.2.2.1

 

FC/APC 

To connect FC/APC optical connectors, remove the dustcaps and align the white ceramic centre ferrule 
on the cable connector with the receptacle.  There is a lug on the side of the ferrule, which must match 
the gap in the receptacle shroud.  When they are aligned, gently push the plug home and finger tighten 
the knurled collet nut onto the threaded receptacle.  See Figure 1 below. 
 
To disconnect FC/APC connectors, unscrew the knurled collet on the plug and gently withdraw the plug.  
Replace the dustcaps on both the receptacle and the cable plug.
