3.2.3 Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable

This section describes how to connect the fiber optic link segment to the FOT-F3. Perform the following steps only after testing the fiber optic cable to ensure that the cable has no defects.

Note: It is recommended to label the fiber optic cable to indicate which fiber is Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, at one end of the cable, one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2. This pattern is repeated at the other end of the cable. If you did not purchase your cable from Cabletron Systems, then be sure you have labeled your cable in the manner described above.
