3.5.2Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to MT-RJ Ports

WARNING: Mini-GBICs use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

This section contains the procedures for connecting a 1000BASE-SX multimode fiber-optic segment from the network or other devices to an MT-RJ port connector of a Mini-GBIC (MGBIC-MT01) in front panel port 50 or 52.

Each fiber-optic link consists of two fiber-optic strands within the cable:

Transmit (TX)

Receive (RX)

The transmit strand from a device port connects to the receive port of a fiber-optic Fast Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The receive strand of the applicable MT-RJ port connects to the transmit port of the fiber-optic Fast Ethernet device.

Enterasys Networks 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.
