Connecting to an SFP Module

This section describes how to connect to SFP modules. For instructions on how to connect to fiber-optic SFP modules, see the “Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules” section. For instructions on how to connect to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, see the “Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules” section.

For instructions about how to install or remove an SFP module, see the “Installing and Removing SFP Modules” section on page 2-7.

Connecting to a Fiber-Optic SFP Module

Follow these steps to connect a fiber-optic cable to an SFP module:

Caution Do not remove the rubber plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Before connecting to the SFP module, be sure that you understand the port and cabling information in the “Installation Guidelines” section on page 2-3and in the “SFP Module Ports” section on page 1-4. See Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications,” for information about the LC on the SFP module.

Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use. Step 2 Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port (see Figure 2-7).

Step 3 Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic receptacle on a target device.
