MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

3.Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

4.As a connection is made, check the Activity LED on the switch’s front panel for the corresponding module to be sure that the connection is valid.

Note: If you use the optional SC-ST Converter, be sure to connect the converter’s Tx (Rx) port to the Rx (Tx) port on the other device.

The 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate only at 100 Mbps, full duplex. You can run a single-mode fiber link up to 6.21 miles (10 kilometers). However, note that power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

The 1000BASE-SX fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 2-6.
