Cabling a fiber optic transceiver
Use the following steps to cable a fiber optic transceiver.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store
the covering for future use.
2.
Before cabling a fiber optic transceiver, it is strongly recommended that you
clean the cable connectors and the port connectors. For more information, refer
to “Cleaning the fiber optic connectors.”
3. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward)
into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock into place.
4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are
functioning properly. For more information about the LED indicators, refer to
Table 20 on page 38.
Cleaning the fiber optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic transceiver (SFP,
SFP+, or mini-GBIC) and the fiber cable connectors, it is strongly recommended
that you clean both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust
can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic
launch power.
