10 GBPS FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIONS

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

Figure 4-3 Making Connections to SFP Transceivers

4.As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.

The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 4-9.

10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections

An optional 10 Gigabit transceiver (XFP) can be used for a backbone connection between switches.

Single-mode fiber ports require 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable. Multimode fiber optic ports require 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable. Each fiber optic cable must have an LC connector attached at both ends.
