Connecting an optical fiber
Be sure to follow the instructions below when connecting a fiber cable. Otherwise, the AP may get
damaged.
When connecting the AP to the remote device through a fiber cable, use an appropriate SFP module.
The SFP modules provided by H3C can be used outdoor. These SFP modules use single-mode optic
fibers and have a transmission distance of 15 km (9.32 miles).
You need to configure an SFP module and a waterproof cover when connecting the AP to an uplink
device through a fiber cable, as shown in Figure 4-20.

Connect a fiber cable
Follow these steps to connect a fiber cable:
Step1
Insert an SFP module into the Ethernet optical interface on the AP.
Step2
Insert the LC connectors with a waterproof cover into the two optical interfaces on the SFP module.
Step3
First tighten the waterproof cover and then the sealing nut.
Step4
Use waterproof tape to wrap the joint between the waterproof cover and the fiber cable.
