Frequently Asked Questions - USR4516LC USRobotics

What is the USRobotics USR4516LC?

The USRobotics USR4516LC is a 10 Gigabit LR Fiber Tap (9 Micron) that provides passive access to monitor fiber traffic between network devices using analysis tools.

What are the package contents?

The package includes the USR4516 10 Gigabit LR Fiber Tap and an Information Card.

Does the tap require external power?

No, the tap is passive and does not require any external power.

What distance limits apply for different data rates?

For 100 Mb, the maximum distance is 2 km; for 1 Gb, 550 m; for 10 Gb, 82 m between network endpoints.

What type of fiber connectors does it use?

The tap uses SC fiber connectors with two Network ports (A and B) and two Monitor ports (A and B).

How should I connect fibers to the tap correctly?

Connect the fiber cables from device A to the NETWORK A SC port, from device B to NETWORK B, and from your analysis device to MON A and MON B. Ensure the fiber direction follows the light budget requirements: the Tx from the network device (with light) should enter the Rx port on the tap.

What should I do if my monitoring tool shows link faults?

Link faults often occur due to incorrect fiber direction. To remedy, simply swap the Network connectors (In to Out and Out to In) to ensure proper light levels reach the monitoring ports.

What are the operating temperature and humidity ranges?

The operating temperature is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), storage temperature is -30°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F), and humidity should be less than 95% non-condensing.

Where can I find warranty and support information?

Warranty details are available at www.usr.com/support/4516. For technical support, visit www.usr.com/support.

What regulatory compliances does this product meet?

The product is compliant with CE (EMC Directive 89/366/EEC and Low Voltage Directive 98/68/EEC) and WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.

Considerations for Fiber Installation:

Fiber TAPs are splitters that divide the light traveling along the fiber into two separate channels. The splitting of the fiber takes signal strength from one fiber and divides it into two (or more) fibers requiring enough light from the main channel to be shared among the divided fibers - meaning that you need to take into consideration the "light budget" to allow for the loss of light on each split channel. By installing the fibers in the proper direction there should be enough light to work properly. If light does not enter the tap in the proper direction, the light traveling out from the MON port will be inadequate for the network tool to utilize the data. This is a common problem that results in link faults on the network tools. To remedy the problem, simply swap the Network connectors (In to Out and Out to In) for proper connectivity and link activity.
