Connecting a Fiber Cable

The SMC9432FTX comes with an SC connector that supports 100BASE-FX fiber connections using 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber optic cabling. Because SC connectors are keyed, they can only be attached in one manner.

Use the following procedure to make an SC connection to the network.

1.Connect one end of the cable to the card’s SC connector and the other end of the cable to the fiber connector on the other device (see Figure 2-4 on the following page).

2.Make certain that the device you are connecting to is specified for 100 Mbps operation.
