Cable Devices to the Switch
Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and
then power up the devices. Device adapters can have SFP (or SFF) transceivers.
LC-type duplex fiber optic cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers.
Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. Choose the fiber
optic cable with the connector combination that matches the device adapter.
GL_Ports self-configure as FL_Ports when connected to loop of devices, or
F_Ports when connected to a single device. G_Ports self-configure as F_Ports
when connected to a single device. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports self-configure as
E_Ports when connected to another switch.
