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

2.Insert the MT‐RJ cable connector into the MT‐RJ connector until it clicks into place.

3.Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device. Some cables may be terminated at the other end with two separate connectors, one for each fiber‐optic strand. In this case, ensure that the transmit fiber‐optic strand is connected to the receive port and the receive fiber‐optic strand to the transmit port.

4.Verify that a link exists by checking that the port Link/Activity LED is on (blinking green or solid green). If the Link/Activity LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on:

a.Verify that the device at the other end of the segment is ON and connected to the segment.
