Attaching the OMNISCANNER Fiber Adapters
Note
Use dust caps to protect the connectors from dirt. Keep the connec-
tors covered when the Fiber Adapters are not in use. This helps to
ensure that contaminants from handling fiber do not affect test
measurements.
Note
Both OMNIFIBER adapters have 160 pin connector
covers. Keep the 160 pin connectors covered when
the Fiber Adapters are not in use.
To attach a fiber adapter to OMNISCANNER proceed
as follows:
1. Remove the 160 pin connector cover from the
OMNIFIBER adapter by gently pressing the black
push button latches. The cover will be released.
2. Push the OMNIFIBER adapter onto
OMNIScanner’s 160 pin connector until it snaps
into position.
3. To remove OMNIFIBER, use the push button
latches to release the secured adapter.
4. Protect OMNIFIBER’s 160 pin connector by snapping the cover back in
place.
Attaching the Connector Adapter
OMNIFIBER has one ST-style connector port (TX) and one threaded
optical receiver port (RX) which accepts different connector adapters.
Attach the included ST connector adapters to the OMNIFIBER RX receiver
ports before connecting jumpers.
Note
Keep the connectors covered when the Fiber Adapters are not in use.
Several connector adapters are available (as optional accessories) for
the OMNIFIBER optical receiver port (RX).
