2.2.2 Connecting the 3H08-04 FE Switch Module

You can connect each of the four pairs of ST fiber ports on the 3H08-04 to a 100BASE-FX port on a device such as a hub, using fiber optic cable. Each fiber segment has a pair of female ST connectors clearly marked as “RX” and “TX.”

Attach the transmit (TX) connector on the 3H08-04 to the receive (RX) connector on the attached device. Similarly, you must then connect the receive (RX) connector on the 3H08-04 to the transmit (TX) connector on the attached device (see Figure 2-2). For more information on cable specifications, see Appendix B.
