Fiber Optic Devices
Each single-fiber SC connector on the switch’s front panel connects directly to a
media converter device at the subscriber’s premises.
The switch’s single-fiber ports require one strand of 9/125 micron single-mode fiber
optic cable with an SC connector at the switch end.
An optional 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver may be used for uplink connections from
the switch to other network devices at the CO. A 1000BASE-X transceiver may also
be for long distance connections to devices at another service provider site.
A single-mode fiber SFP transceiver port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber
optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends. A multimode fiber optic port
requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC
connector at both ends.
Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are
compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently
eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a
transmit port when it is powered on.
Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure that it
can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum
operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser
Class 1 SFP transceiver.
Hinweis: Bei der Wahl eines Glasfasertransceivers muß für die Beurteilung der
Gesamtsicherheit beachtet werden, das die maximale Umgebungstemperatur
des Transceivers für den Betrieb nicht niedriger ist als die für dieses Produkts.
Der Glasfasertransceiver muß auch ein überprüftes Gerät der Laser Klasse 1
sein.
1. Remove and keep the SC/LC port’s rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber
cable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics.
2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by
wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the
light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the
port.
3. Connect fiber devices to the switch.
a. For connections to the media converter, connect one end of the cable to the
SC port on the switch and the other end to the media converter at the
subscriber’s premises. Note that the requires an internal splice and SC
connection for the single-mode fiber, which should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
