Figure 4-3 Making Connections to SFP Transceivers
4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to
the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LH fiber optic ports operate at
1 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit
speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Collision Domain” on page 4-6.
10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections
An optional 10 Gigabit 10GBASE-LR transceiver (Xenpak or XFP) can be used for a
backbone connection between switches.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with
an LC connector at both ends.
Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are
compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently
eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a
transmit port when it is powered on.
1. Remove and keep the port’s protective cover. When not connected to a fiber
cable, the cover should be replaced to protect the optics.
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 or SC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the
cable can be attached in only one orientation.
