Installing the Patch Cord
As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the 1000BASE-
LX module with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to the Tx
(transmit) port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your
network cabling patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.
If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need
to install a
female-to-female adapter
to allow the cables to be connected
together.
Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has SC connectors on the end
that connects to the 1000BASE-LX module and has multimode fibers that
match the characteristics of the multimode fiber in your network.

If you are having any trouble with your module, SMC offers support 24 hours
a day, seven days a week through the use of a number of services. See the
back cover of this manual for information on how to use these services to
get technical support.
Additionally, your SMC-authorized network reseller can also provide you
with assistance, both with services that they offer and with services offered
by SMC.
