Installation Guide

1. Install the module in any available X80 rack slot
2. Connect 24 V DC power via the rack backplane
3. Attach copper Ethernet cables to the RJ45 ports
4. Connect multi-mode fiber patch cables to the optical ports
5. Verify LED indicators display green power and link status
6. Configure network addressing through the PAC programming environment

Selection Tips

• Select BMXNRP0200 for multi-mode fiber applications up to 2,000 meters
• For single-mode fiber exceeding 2,000 meters, choose BMXNRP0201
• Verify existing fiber infrastructure matches 50/125 or 62.5/125 multi-mode
• Confirm fiber patch cables have compatible connectors
• Calculate total link budget including cable attenuation and splice losses
