3. Attach the data cable to the port on the GBIC module.
Figure 30
Attaching a Cable to a GBIC Module
When you attach a fiber optic cable to a GBIC module, be sure to
observe the following guidelines:
G
You should verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber
optic cabling. For GBIC cabling specifications, refer to the
GBIC
Installation Guide
.
G
You should verify that the operating specifications of the remote
fiber optic port are compatible with the GBIC module. For
example, you cannot connect a fiber optic GBIC module with a
maximum distance of 40 kilometers and an operating wavelength
of 1550 nanometers (nm) to a remote fiber optic port with an
maximum distance of only 10 kilometers and an operating
wavelength of 1310 nm.
G
Be sure that the cable connector is firmly locked into place in the
port.
G
If the GBIC module has a dual SC connector, be sure to connect the
receiver fiber port on the module to the transmitter port on the
remote end node, and the transmitter fiber port on the GBIC
module to the receiver port on the remote node.
