3.2.6.Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection
Copper cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch
copper port;
Step 2: Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of other
device;
Step 3: Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates
that the link has been established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be
examined.
Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the right port. Connecting to wrong
ports might damage the switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Remove the protective plug from the QSFP+ fiber transceiver bore; Remove the
protective cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
Step 2: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the QSFP+ transceiver, and attach the other
end to the transceiver of the corresponding devices.
Note: The QSFP+ transceiver’s TX port should be connected to the RX port of the
corresponding device, and vice versa.
Step 3: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has
been established; otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.
Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the other ports. Connecting to
wrong ports might damage the transceiver or the other ports. When connecting other
devices through a fiber cable to the switch, the output power of the fiber cable must not
exceed the maximum received power of the corresponding modules. Otherwise, it will
damage the fiber transceiver. Do not stare at the fiber bore when the switch is in
operation. That may hurt your eyes.
