In a floor-standing Fiber RemoteIPE, the fiber-optic link terminates the optical I/O panel FC/PC fiber-opticconnectors.In a wall-mounted Fiber Remote IPE cabinet, the fiber-optic link terminatesat the fiber management frame. The fiber-optic link continues from thefiber management frame to the Electro-optical packlet, FC/PC fiber-opticconnectors installed on the Fiber Peripheral Controller card. In both cases,FC/PC fiber-optic connectors have to be installed onto fibers of the link sothat the link can be directly connected to the FC/PC fiber-optic connectorsof the Fiber Remote IPE.Note: Single-mode fibers and fiber-optic connectors allow only onepath for light to propagate because of the small diameter of the fiber.These are used for high speed transmission and longer distances.Multi-mode fibers and fiber-optic connectors allow more than one modeof propagation for a specific wavelength. These cause dispersion of lightand limit the effective bandwidth and distance of communication. For theFiber Remote IPE, Nortel recommends single-mode fiber-optic cables.To connect the Electro-optical packlet from the Fiber Superloop Networkand Fiber Peripheral Controller card faceplate to the optical I/O panel, twooptical patchcords are used. For a redundant configuration, four opticalpatchcords are used, two for transmit sides and two for receive sides.Electro-optical equipment planning form - exampleTable 6 "Example of the planning form for a wall-mounted Fiber RemoteIPE" (page 42) shows a sample planning form.
