AKING ETWORK
Warning: These switches use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic
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 SC port on the switch and the
other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC 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 10Gbps speed will depend on the
fiber type as listed under "10 Gbps Ethernet Collision Domain" on page

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.
