Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to a J-EX Series Switch
J-EX Series switches have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you
can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin connecting a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a
J-EX Series switch, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling
of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for J-EX Series Switches”
on page 165).
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a J-EX Series switch:
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected
to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
1.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap.
Save the cap.
2.
Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap.
3.
Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver (see Figure 50 on page 109).

4.
Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable
out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain
their shape.
