Question:  I've purchased a pair of FIM-202s to support two remote panels on my Clear-Com Eclipse system.  What size fiber cable is supported by the FIM-202 and what type of connectors are required by the FIM-202 fiber connections?
Answer:  The person installing the FIM-202D units is responsible for providing the fiber optic cable runs. The FIM-202D will operate with either Single-Mode or Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Cable. You will experience the best distance performance when using Single-Mode cable as shown in the table below:
FIBER CORE DIAMETER     MAXIMUM FIBER LENGTH
50 microns (multimode)               3 miles (5 km)
62.5 microns (multimode)            2 miles (3 km)
8 microns (single mode)             12 miles (20 km)
Mark or tag the optical fibers when they are pulled, carefully avoiding the fiber tip, so that their identity is known at both ends. If there is confusion about the identity of the two fibers, shine a flashlight at one end of the fiber and look for light at the other end.
Warning: Do not use the FIM-202D optical output to identify cables. Never look directly into the end of the optical fiber while either end of the system is operating. Even if you do not see visible light, eye damage is possible.

The FIM-202D is compatible with industry standard ST-type connectors.
