SC Connector
Each fiber optic link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the transmit
(TX) and the receive (RX). The transmit strand from a module port connects to the
receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The
receive strand of the applicable port on the module connects to the transmit port
of the fiber optic Ethernet device. As duplex SC Connectors are designed to only
be inserted into SC ports in one fashion, there is little chance of a mis-connection
due to improper crossover occurring.
Cabletron Systems recommends labeling fiber optic cables to indicate receive and
transmit ends. Many cables are prelabeled, providing matching labels or tapes at
both ends of each strand of cable.
1.
Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic port on the
applicable module, and from the ends of the ferrules of the SC Connector.
2.
Align the SC connector with the SC port to which it is to be connected. Hold
the SC Connector as shown in the figure below, with the raised guide keys at
the top.
Figure 14-13. SC Connector Insertion
3.
Press the connector straight into the port. When the port is fully inserted, the
inner housing will latch and lock the connector into place.

Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let
the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If necessary, clean contaminated cable ends
using isopropyl alcohol and a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
