5.4 SK-NIC Wiring Options
Networking a group of IFP-2100/ECS requires the use of a network interface card with each panel. The SK-NIC
connects to other networked units using unshielded, twisted-pair wiring or fiber optic cable.

5.4.1 Fiber Loop Modules
Two types of fiber optic modules are available to use to transmit and receive communication with the SK-NIC.
See Figure 5-4. For more information see SK-FML / SK-FSL installation sheet P/N LS10178-001SK-E.
Figure 5-4 Types Fiber Loop Modules
The SK-FML (Fiber-Optic Multi-Mode) and SK-FSL (Fiber-Optic Single-Mode) are plug-in fiber loop modules.
The two types of fiber optic modules are used as one channel to transmit or receive communications with the SK-
NIC, ARCNET communication circuit.
The following describe the two types of fiber optic modules.
• The SK-FML is a fiber module that allows the multi-mode fiber to network between nodes.
• The SK-FSL is a fiber module that allows the single-mode fiber to network between nodes.
Each fiber loop module can Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) fiber-optic cable connecting to the SK-NIC. Up to
two fiber loop cards can be added to the SK-NIC, and both cards may be combined in the same configuration.
See Figure 5-5.
