Fiber Optic Devices

An optional slide-in 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-X transceiver may be used for backbone and long distance connections, or for ISP (Internet) connections. A 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-X transceiver may also be for connecting to a high-speed server.

Each single-mode fiber optic port requires 9/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends.

1.Remove and keep the SC port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics.

2.Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.

3.Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.
