Connecting to the Network

To connect an LC cable connector to a fixed LC connector of a Mini‐GBIC, refer to Figure 3‐19 and proceed as follows:

1.Remove the protective covers (not shown) from the front panel LC fiber‐optic port (port 22 in this example) and from the connectors on each end of the cable.

Note: Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent contamination.

Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends of the fiber-optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean. A fiber-port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also be used to clean the ends.

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 losextremos de los cables de fibra óptica se ensucian, utilice aire comprimido paralimpiarlos. También puede limpiarlos con un estropajo embebido en alcohol isopropílico.

2.Insert the LC cable connector into the Mini‐GBIC LC connector until it clicks into place.

Note: To remove the LC cable connector, press on its release tab and pull it out of Mini-GBIC LC connector.
