7 E-FIB fiber card

This chapter describes how to connect Eclipse matrices using E-FIB fiber interfaces.

E-FIB fiber interfaces connect Eclipse HX matrices together to provide a high speed, dual

redundant link to transfer audio samples and data between systems. These connections can

be configured in various ways to provide protection against the loss of a link or a node.

Each fiber interface comprises:

• A front card with various controls and status indicators (including a reset button,

status LEDs for power, processor function, card status, link status and link activity).

Note:

The link status and activity LEDs indicate whether there is activity on a link, whether

the card is transmitting on a link and the error state of a link.

• A rear card with two Duplex LC Terminated fiber optic connectors (TXVRA and

TXVRB). The fiber interfaces use 9/125µ Single Mode fiber optic cables.

The standard maximum node length is 10km but other distances are available to special

order. For further details, see 12

Specifications.

Clear-Com recommends that you fit E-FIB cards in slots 14 and/or 15 of an Eclipse HX-

Omega matrix. If fiber interfaces are fitted to any matrix in a linked system all the linked

matrices must be reset to ensure that all matrices correctly recognize the new hardware.

Tip: For an overview of the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix, see 3 Overview.
