FiberLink 5100 Series

Welcome | Features | Package Contents

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing Artel Video Systems’ FiberLink 5100 Series . The 5100 Series is used to transmit 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet over one or two single mode or multimode fiber optic cores . The FiberLink 5100 Series automatically adapts to the highest level of performance supported by the device connected to the Ethernet port . When the connected device is a switch or a workstation that supports full-duplex, the FiberLink 5100 adapts to the full-duplex mode and provides an effective 2000 Mbps bandwidth . When the connected device is a HUB or a workstation that supports only half-duplex, the FiberLink 5100 adapts to half-duplex mode providing the nominal 1000 Mbps .

With high performance data transmission and easy installation, the FiberLink 5100 provides the ultimate ISP network solution for FTTH (Fiber To The Home), FTTC (Fiber To

The Curb) or for ISPs for FTTB (Fiber To The Building), and can also be utilized for small office network environments .

*Distance specifications are approximate, based upon connecting a 5100 Transmitter to a 5100 Receiver, and are not guaranteed .

Artel cannot estimate or guarantee operating loss budgets when the 5100 Series is used with other, non-FiberLink devices .

Operating loss budget must not be exceeded .

Ethernet Cable

The FiberLink 5100 Series is compatible with standard Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cable . A category 5 cable consists of four pairs of wires; two pairs are used for 10/100 transmission . The

RJ-45 connector consists of 8 pins which are used for 10/100 transmission as follows:

Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

The FiberLink 5100 Series of fiber optic transmission systems are ready for immediate use and do not require any special tools or equipment . However, an Optical

Power Meter, such as the FiberLink 6615, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets during your systems design and maintenance .

The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure:

1) Connect the Universal Power Supply to the transmitter and receiver units .

When power is applied, the PWR LED should illuminate, indicating the presence of operating power .

2) Connect any Category 3, 4 or 5 Ethernet Cable to the Ethernet port of the transmitting 5100 Series unit . The TX Link LED should illuminate .

3) Connect any Category 3, 4 or 5 Ethernet Cable to the Ethernet port of the receiver 5100 Series unit . The TX Link LED should illuminate .

4) Connect the fiber optic cable(s) to the transmitter and receiver units .

5) The FX Link LED should illuminate . If the FX Link LED fails to illuminate and you are using a two fiber system, reverse the fiber optic connections at one of the units .

The transmitting element in the FiberLink 5100 transmitter unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The radiation from this optical connector, if viewed at close range with no fiber optic cable connected to the optical connector, may be sufficient intensity to cause instantaneous damage to the retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation should be avoided at all times!

Operating Pointers | Troubleshooting

Operating Pointers

Remember to check attenuation of the fiber optic cable . The system will only operate properly if these specifications fall within the range of the system’s loss budget .

Troubleshooting

Multimode fiber optic cable contains an optical fiber with a light carrying “core” that is only

.0025 inches (62 .5 microns) in diameter . Single mode fiber optic cable has an even smaller

“core,” only .00032 to .0004 inches (8-10 microns) . This is smaller than a human hair!

Therefore, any minute particles of dirt or dust can easily block the fiber from accepting or radiating light . To prevent this from happening, always use the provided dust caps when ever optical connectors are exposed to air . It is also a good idea to gently clean the tip of an optical connector with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol whenever dust is suspected .

The status of the LEDs should provide the first clue as to the origin of any operational failure . If these are off, it usually means that the fiber is broken or has too much attenuation .

Next, be certain that the input and output signal connections are correct .

If the FX Link LED fails to illuminate and you are using a two fiber system, reverse the fiber optic connections at one of the units .

An optical power meter, such as the FiberLink 6650, a visible light source, such as the

FiberLink 6656, and a Three Wavelength Light Source, such as the FiberLink 6654, can greatly assist and expedite troubleshooting of fiber optic transmission systems and are recommended tools all installers should have available .

Finally, although multimode and single mode devices may look the same, they will not operate properly together . Using the wrong device or fiber can easily add more attenuation than specified, resulting in poor overall performance . It should be noted that some of our fiber optic products support both single mode and multimode fiber in the same unit .

If, after reviewing the above possibilities, the system is still not operating, please contact the Customer Service Department for further assistance . If you suspect your problem is caused by the optics or the fiber optic cable, and you have an optical power meter, please take the appropriate measurements prior to contacting support .
