This section describes how to connect
•a 1000BASE‐SX multimode fiber‐optic segment from the network or other devices to an LC port connector of a Mini‐GBIC (MGBIC‐LC01), or
•a 1000BASE‐LX single‐mode fiber‐optic segment from the network or other devices to an LC port connector of a Mini‐GBIC (MGBIC‐LC09).
Each fiber‐optic link consists of two fiber‐optic strands within the cable:
•Transmit (TX)
•Receive (RX)
The transmit strand from a switch port connects to the receive port of a fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable LC port connects to the transmit port of the fiber‐optic Gigabit Ethernet device.
Enterasys recommends labeling fiber‐optic cables to indicate receive and transmit ends. Many cables are pre‐labeled, providing matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable.
To connect an LC cable connector to a fixed LC connector of a Mini‐GBIC, refer to Figure 3‐21 and proceed as follows:
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the
Precaución: No toque los extremos de los cables de fibra óptica y evite su contacto con el polvo, la suciedad o con cualquier otro contaminante. Si los extremos de los cables se ensucian, es posible que la transmisión de datos se vea afectada. Si nota que los extremos de los cables de fibra óptica se ensucian, utilice aire comprimido para limpiarlos. También puede limpiarlos con un estropajo embebido en alcohol isopropílico.
