2. Check 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
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber 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 LC port on the switch and the other end to
the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can
be attached in only one orientation.

4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the module to be sure that the
connection is valid.
The 10G fiber optic ports operate at 10 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length for
fiber optic cable operating at 10 Gbps will depend on the fiber type as listed under
"10 Gbps Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 4-6.
