Connecting an optical fiber
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when you connect an optical fiber. The laser light emitted from the
optical fiber may hurt your eyes.
Follow these guidelines when you connect a fiber cable:
•
Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it.
•
Make sure the Tx and Rx ends are correctly connected.
•
Keep the fiber end clean.
•
Be sure to install the dust cover if the fiber port is not connected to a fiber connector.
To connect an optical fiber:
1.
Remove the dust plug from the fiber port.
2.
Pivot the pull latch of the transceiver module up so that it catches a knob on the top of the
module. Holding two sides of the module, insert the transceiver module into the fiber port.
3.
Identify the Rx and Tx ports. Plug the LC connector at one end of one fiber cable into the Rx port
of the router and the LC connector at the other end into the Tx port of the peer device. Plug the
LC connector at one end of another fiber cable into the Tx port of the router and the LC
connector at the other end to the Rx port of the peer device.
4.
Examine the Ethernet port LED after connection.
