OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
With a Clear-Com FIM-202D System, you can connect Clear-Com
intercom panels or interfaces to the central matrix using fiber-optic
cables at distances of up to 12 miles (20 km).
The system consists of one FIM-202D at the matrix-frame end and
another FIM-202D unit at the matrix-panel end. Connecting the pair of
interfaces with fiber rather than with the standard 4-wire twisted pair
copper, gives you advantages such as increased security from
electromagnetic and RF interference, flexibility in equipment
placement, ease of maintenance, and often, reduced cost.
CONNECTING INTERCOM PANELS TO THE CENTRAL MATRIX
The Clear-Com FIM-202D system transmits audio and data signals
from 1 or 2 intercom panels or interfaces using easily available
standard Ethernet cable to the matrix frame through the process
illustrated in Figure 1-2. The illustration shows both directions of the
signal flow as the system transmits in full-duplex mode.

Figure 1-2: Connecting Intercom Panels to the Central Matrix
1. Matrix Plus 3 and Eclipse intercom panels transmit analog audio
signals and digital data signals to the first FIM-202D unit via
standard Ethernet copper cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
2. The first FIM-202D unit converts the analog audio signals to digital
audio signals through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) located
on the FIM-202D unit’s main circuit board.
3. The first FIM-202D unit then multiplexes (combines) the digital audio
signals with the already digital data signals.
4. The first FIM-202D then converts the multiplexed digital signal into
an optical signal.
5. The first FIM-202D then transmits the optical signal over
fiber-optical cable to the second FIM-202D unit, where a similar but
reverse process occurs to convert the signal back to its original
format.
6. The second FIM-202D unit converts the received optical signal to a
digital signal.
7. The second FIM-202D then “demultiplexes” (separates) the digital
signal back into it’s separate audio and data signals for each
intercom unit.
8. The second FIM-202D then converts the digital audio signals for
each intercom panel to analog audio signals by sending the signals
through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) located on the
FIM-202D unit’s main circuit board.
9. The second FIM-202D unit then transmits the analog audio and
digital data signals for each intercom p anel to the central matrix over
standard Ethernet copper cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

CONNECTING INTERFACE MODULES TO THE CENTRAL MATRIX
With a pair of FIM-202D units you can also remotely connect
Clear-Com rack-mounted Matrix interface modules to the central
matrix. For example, using a Clear-Com CCI-22 dual party-line
interface at one end, you can connect two independent, external 2-wire
party line systems to the central matrix over large distances. Or, with a
Clear-Com TEL-14 Telephone Interface Module, you can send
telephone audio to the central matrix over a secured, interference-free
fiber-optic line. By using a Clear-Com FOR-22 4-wire interface
module, you can send 4-wire audio plus transmit keying over a
fiber-optic line. You can also use a Clear-Com EF-701M to interface
2-wire Clear-Com or RTS party lines to the central matrix over a
fiber-optic link.
Figure 1-3 shows a system with connected interface modules.

The party lines are linked by connecting the EF-701M to the FIM-202D
using shielded CA T5 cable, plugging in to the "CH1 Station" port on the
FIM-202D and the “Matrix” port on the EF-701M. Set the Matrix/Direct
switch (switch 1 on the rear of the EF-701M) to the up position and the
CC/TW switch (switch 2) to the required position depending on party
line type.
See figure Figure 1-5 below for an example of this setup.
Ensure that each pair of EF-701M units are connected to the same
station ports on the FIM-202D interfaces i.e. CH1 Station to CH1
Station, CH2 Station to CH2 Station.

Both channels of the FIM-202D can be used allowing a second party
line to be extended using two more EF-701M units connecting to the
second “CH2 Station” ports.
FIM-202D TWO-FIBER CONFIGURATION
In a standard two-fiber system, identical FIM-202D units are used at
each location. The units both transmit at 1300 nm on ST connector
“Fiber Out” and receive the 1300 nm signal on ST connector “Fiber In”.
They are connected by the two fibers so that the optical output of each
box is connected to the optical input of the other. In both one- and
two-fiber systems, the input of channel 1 on one unit becomes the
output of channel 1 on the other unit, and vice versa.
The two FIM-202D units in the two-fiber version are identical, so the
units are interchangeable.
