About this task
To connect cables to transceiver ports:
Procedure
-
Remove the protective covers
from the transceiver and from the connectors on each end of the cable.
-
Insert the cable connector into the transceiver connector until it clicks into
place.
-
Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other
device.
Some fiber-optic cables may be terminated at the other end with two separate
connectors, one for each fiber-optic strand. In this case, ensure that the
transmit fiber-optic strand from the appliance is connected to the receive port
of the other device, and the receive fiber-optic strand on the appliance is
connected to the transmit port of the other device.
-
If a transceiver port is unused, install a dust cover.
Warning
Fiber-optic transceivers use Class 1 lasers. Do not use
optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments
to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical
port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
