Special advices for dealing with laser technology
The devices of the NEO-FiberLink series use components with laser technology
which comply with laser class 1.
They meet the requirements according to DIN EN 60825-1:2001-11, IEC 60825-1 as
well as U.S. CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
Mind the following advices when dealing with laser beams:
! Avoid eye contact with laser beam
Although class 1 laser are considered nonhazardous, direct eye contact should
be avoided. Do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments.
! Always connect optical connections or cover them with protection caps
Optical connections of the Transmission socket as well as cable plugs must always
be covered with a connector or a protection cap.
! Only use G&D certified transmission modules
It is not allowed to use transmission modules that do not comply with laser
class 1 according to DIN EN 60825-1:2001-11. By applying such modules, the
compliance of the given instructions and recommendations for laser safety can-
not be guaranteed.
The guarantee of complying with all relevant instructions can only be given by
applying original components. The devices must therefore ony be operated
G&D certified transmission modules.

Introduction
3· NEO-FiberLink-2
Introduction
The transmitter and the receiver module of the NEO-FiberLink series increase the
range between two matrix switches (CATCenter NEO) within a matrix system to up
to 10,000 metres. The data between the two modules is transmitted via two single-
mode fibre optics.
For each NEO-FiberLink system two CPU ports of the master matrix switch are con-
nected to two CON ports of the slave matrix switch. Now two users can simultane-
ously access the computers connected to the slave matrix switch.
Both transmitter and receiver module can either be placed between the master and
the slave matrix switch (cascade level 1) or between the slave matrix switches of the
second cascade level.
The figure on the right-hand side shows how to place the transmitter and receiver
module of the NEO-FiberLink series between two matrix switches.

Installation
The transmitter and receiver module can either be placed between the master and
the slave matrix switch (cascade level 1) or between the slave matrix switches of the
second cascade level.
Connecting the transmitter module
(NEO-FiberLink-2Tx)
Place the transmitter module close to the slave matrix switch.
Transmission – Tx: Insert the LC plug of the fibre optics, which is available as acces-
sory. Connect the other end of the cable to the Transmission – Rx interface of the
receiver module.
Transmission – Rx: Insert the LC plug of the fibre optics, which is available as acces-
sory. Connect the other end of the cable to the Transmission – Tx interface of the
receiver module.
Transmission-1 CAT: Use a CAT5 (or better) twisted pair cable to connect these inter-
faces to one of the CON interfaces of the slave matrix switch.
Transmission-2 CAT: Use a CAT5 (or better) twisted pair cable to connect these inter-
faces to one of the CON interfaces of the slave matrix switch.
Red. Power: If necessary, connect the connection cable of the optional power pack to
this interface. Then connect a power cable to the power pack and a power outlet.
Main Power: Insert the supplied power cable and connect it to a power outlet.
ADVICE: Basic information regarding the cascading of a matrix switch is given in
the chapter Installing the expansion unit of the matrix switches’ installation manual.
