CHAPTER 4: Installation
3. Place cable ties at regular intervals, and do not overtighten them. For best
results, try to avoid using cable ties with fiber.
4. Do not stretch the cable—especially in corners, in vertical cable trays, and
when spanning long distances.
When connecting fiber cable to the converter’s 100BASE-SX/LX port, be sure that
you use the correct type (SC) connector. Follow the steps below to properly
connect fiber cable.
1. Remove, but do not discard the SC port’s protective rubber cover. When the
converter’s not connected to a fiber cable, replace the protective rubber
cover to protect the optical transceivers from dust and debris.
2. Make sure 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
rubbing alcohol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiberoptic cables will impair the
quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded
performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the converter’s SC port and the other end to
the other device’s SC port.
NOTE
When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position
so that it is properly seated.
4. Check the converter’s corresponding LNK LED to make sure that the
connection is detected.
WARNING
Laser radiation can be harmful to your eyes! Because invisible laser
radiation may be emitted from the fiber port’s aperture when no cable is
connected, do not stare into the open apertures.
