Connecting to the Network

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 losextremos de los cables de fibra óptica se ensucian, utilice aire comprimido paralimpiarlos. 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.

Note: To remove the MT-RJ cable connector, press on its release tab and pull out the cable connector.

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.
