Figure 3-19: Connecting the Ethernet Copper Cable
Connecting the Ethernet Fiber Cable
Follow the guidelines below when connecting cables to the ports:
Be careful not to connect the Ethernet port to the wrong ports. Read the label
above the port carefully.
For SFP port connection, the optical module should be inserted into SFP port
before installing the LC-type connector to the optical module; the copper SFP
module should be connected by crossover cable or straight-through cable.
For XFP ports, insert the XFP optical module into the XFP port before connecting
the LC-type connector to the module.
Keep the followings in mind when connecting fiber cables:
The curvature radius should be greater than 10cm. Avoid excessive bending of
the cable.
Ensure the Tx and Rx ends are connected correctly.
Keep the connector of the optical cable clean.
