INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RRX-486 multimode Panasonic PSD data transceiver. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The RRX-486 operates as half of a transceiver pair for the transmission of bi-directional Panasonic PSD data. It is designed to operate with a MTX-486 or a RTX-486 data transceiver over a single multimode fiber optic cable.

The RRX-486 converts a single Panasonic PSD data input into an optical fiber output using an 850 nm wavelength source. The RRX-486 also converts an optical Panasonic PSD data signal returning on the same fiber into an electronic Panasonic PSD data output using a 1300 nm wavelength detector. The 486 Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB when used on 62.5 um multimode fiber. The RRX-486 will also operate on 50 um multimode fiber at a reduced loss budget range. Refer to the data sheets for detailed performance specifications.

This unit is designed for rack mounting in an American Fibertek subrack. The subrack model numbers are SR20/2, SR-20D/2, and SR-20/R1. Slide in rack mounting and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video and dc power.

The RRX-486 is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please see the MRX-486.
