CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems
Media Interface Module User’s Guide
to serve as a simple installation and reference guide for the FOMIM, and
to explain the capabilities and special features of the module. Before
using the FOMIM, you need to carefully read through this manual to gain
a full understanding of the FOMIM and its capabilities.
Cabletron Systems offers three versions of 1300 nm single mode Fiber
Optic Media Interface Modules:
• FOMIM-32 providing 12 links with ST type connectors
• FOMIM-36 providing 6 links with ST type connectors
• FOMIM-38 providing 18 links with ST type connectors

1.3 FIBER OPTIC MEDIA INTERFACE MODULES
Cabletron Systems Fiber Optic Media Interface Modules provide a choice
of six, twelve, or eighteen ports with ST connectors.
The FOMIM-32/36/38 use 1300 nm wavelength transmitters
NOTE
and receivers (not the 850 nm specified by FOIRL) and should
be used only with the Cabletron Systems Ethernet single mode
transceiver, the FOT-F3.
1.3.1 Distance and Cable Type
The FOMIMs support single mode fiber optic cable for sizes such as
µ
8.3/125
cable distance is dependent on the cable type and the overall system fiber
optic budget. If the system budgets and timing constraints are met, then a
distance of up to 5 kilometers is possible. You can also use 62.5/125
multimode cable with the FOMIM, but due to greater optical loss, signal
distance is reduced to 2 km.
