Cabling the 100BASE-FX Module
The 100BASE-FX module has six Fast Ethernet ports
that use SC connectors and provide 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet connections over fiber cabling. The
100BASE-FX module is available for either
single-mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF).
To cable the 100BASE-FX module:
1
Read and follow “Fiber and Laser Safety Precautions”
in the previous section for safe operation.
2
Plug the male SC connector on the fiber cable into
the selected port on the Fast Ethernet module until it
clicks into place. See Figure 14.
3
Attach the other end of the fiber cable to the
network device that you want to connect.
