1. Remove and keep the fiber port’s rubber cover. When not connected
to a fiber cable, the rubber cover 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 cables
will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and
lead to degraded performance on the port.
3. When running cable to a subscriber, connect one end of the cable to
an 100BASE-BX SC port on the switch and the other end to the CPE
at the subscriber’s premises. Most CPEs require the fiber cable to be
hard-wired to the device with an internal splice, which should only be
done by trained service personnel. When connecting to an uplink port,
connect one end of the cable to the LC connector on an SFP
transceiver and the other end to the LC port on the other device. Since
both SC and LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in
only one orientation.
