4 Making Network 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.

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
10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections
An optional 10 Gigabit transceiver (XFP) can be used for a backbone connection between switches.
Warning: These switches use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
Note: When selecting a fiber device, considering safety, please make sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.
