Attaching Optical Network Interface Cables

Before you remove the dust plugs from the connector optical bores and make any connections, observe

the following guidelines:

• Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the

transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.

Caution Do not remove the plugs from the transceiver optical bores or the fiber-optic cable until you are ready

to connect the cable. The plugs protect the transceiver optical bores and cable from contamin ation.

• Always inspect and clean the SC or the LC connector end-faces just before making any connections.

Refer to the Tip on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections for th e location of a document

that describes the fiber-optic inspection and cleaning process.

• Always grasp the SC or the LC connector housing instead of the fiber-optic cable to plug o r unplug

the fiber-optic cable.

To install the optical interface cables, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable optical connectors. Save the dust plugs for

future use.

Step 2 Immediately inspect and clean the optical connector’s fiber-optic end faces.

Tip For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see the document at this

Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord

A mode-conditioning patch cord is recommended for use with an LX/LH GBIC transceiver or an LX/LH

SFP transceiver and multimode fiber (MMF) to allow reliable laser transmission. Table 3-2lists the three

types of mode-conditioning patch cords available from Cisco:
