Fiber Optic (FOIRL, 10BASE-FL) Wiring Specifications<br />
The IEEE FOIRL standard limits a fiber segment length to 1 km (3,280 ft.).<br />
That is, the fiber optic cable that connects two repeaters is limited to 1 km<br />
(3,280 ft.). On the other hand, the more recent IEEE 10BASE-FL standard<br />
limits a fiber segment length to 2 km (6,560 ft.). Note, however, that this<br />
only applies to topologies in which one 10BASE-FL node connects to<br />
another 10BASE-FL node. You can intermix 10BASE-FL and FOIRL<br />
nodes, but if the cable connects a 10BASE-FL node at one end with a<br />
FOIRL node at the other, the segment length is limited to 1 km (3,280 ft.).<br />
<strong>AT</strong>-3606F/SM, SC, and ST hubs support 62.5/125 micron and 50/125<br />
micron duplex optical fiber cable (duplex refers to fiber optic cable pairs).<br />
Normally, duplex fiber optic cable is labeled TX or TD (transmit) and RX or<br />
RD (receive). This means it has a dedicated transmit cable and a dedicated<br />
receive cable. You must connect the receiving port (RX or RD) on one<br />
device to the transmitting (TX or TD) port on a second device for proper<br />
connectivity.<br />
To connect a network device to one of the fiber optic ports on an <strong>AT</strong>-3606F<br />
Series hub:<br />
1. Attach both connectors at one end of the cable to the TX and RX ports<br />
on the network device.<br />
2. Connect one of the paired connectors at the other end of the cable to the<br />
RX port on the hub.<br />
3. Check for Link indicator to illuminate.<br />
