Installing Transceivers and Cables
Connecting Network Devices
Use the following steps to remove a fiber-optic transceiver from a slot.
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack).
2.
Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3.
Unlock the fiber-optic transceiver by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front of the slot.
NOTE
The QSFP28 transceivers do not have bails, but pull tabs. Always use the pull tab to insert or remove the QSFP28 transceivers,
because the transceiver may be hot.
NOTE
The bail latch or pull tab may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the fiber-optic transceiver.
4.
Grasp the bail latch and pull the fiber-optic transceiver out of the slot.
5.
Store the fiber-optic transceiver in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
6.
Install a new fiber-optic transceiver in the slot.
Connecting Network Devices
Ruckus devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well as other Ruckus devices.
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 7850 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+/SFP28 or 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
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
