the LC fiber-optic patch cables listed in
Table B-2 on page B-4 . Use the Cisco part
numbers in Table B-2 to order the patch cables that you need.

Caution
Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic ports or the rubber caps from
the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps
protect the fiber-optic ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

store them for future use. Remove the rubber caps from the LC on the fiber-optic
