Publication date: Feb., 2012Revision A122FIBER OPTICSFP DEVICESAn optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for abackbone connection between switches, or forconnecting to a high-speed server.Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micronsingle-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector atboth ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cablingwith an LC connector at both ends.WARNING: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiberoptic cable. The lasers are inherently eye safe in normaloperation. However, user should never look directly at atransmit port when it is powered on.WARNING: When selecting a fiber SFP device, consideringsafety, please make sure that it can function at a temperaturethat is not less than the recommended maximum operationaltemperature of the product. You must also use an approvedLaser SFP transceiver.Step1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fibercable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics.Step2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugsby wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with alittle ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair thequality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degradedperformance on the port.Step3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other endto the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, thecable can be attached in only one orientation.Figure 18: Making Fiber Port ConnectionsStep4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch correspondingto the port to be sure that the connection is valid.The fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps. The maximum length for fiber optic cableoperating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain” on page 28. |
