Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the device to a network interface card, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic transceiver, you will need fiber
cabling with an LC connector.
For information about transceivers supported on the Ruckus ICX 7650 switch, refer to the
Ruckus Optics Family Data Sheet
.
To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must complete the following tasks:
•
Install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP/SFP+ or QSFP+/QSFP28). Refer to
“Installing a fiber-optic transceiver”
•
Cable the fiber-optic transceiver
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
Use the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.
1.
Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
2.
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Ruckus strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors.
For more information, refer to
“Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors”
3.
Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tab locks
into place.
4.
Observe the link and activity LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about
the LED indicators, refer to
NOTE
To verify that a Ruckus ICX 7650 switch can reach another device through the network, use the
