Connecting to 100BASE-FX Ports
Connecting to 100BASE-FX Ports
The 100BASE-FX ports only operate at 100 Mbps and full-duplex mode.
You can connect a 100BASE-FX port to an SC or ST port on a compatible device
by using one of the MT-RJ fiber-optic patch cables listed in
. Use the
Cisco part numbers in
to order the patch cables that you need.
Follow these steps to connect the switch to a 100BASE-FX device:
Caution
Do not remove the rubber 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.
Step 1
Remove the rubber plugs from the 100BASE-FX ports and the rubber caps from
the MT-RJ patch cable. Store them for future use.
Step 2
Insert the cable in a 100BASE-FX port. (See
.)
