Cabling 1000BASE-SX Ports
To cable one of the 1000BASE-SX ports with SC
connectors:
Read the Caution at the beginning of "Cabling
1
Gigabit Ethernet Ports" earlier in this chapter.
Remove the dust covers and save them for future use.
2
Examine the port and connector pair for dust. Verify
3
that nothing blocks the light transmission between
the port and its connectors.
Attach one male connector of the SC cable connector
4
pair to the right side of a fixed Gigabit Ethernet port.
Attach the remaining connector of the SC cable
5
connector pair to the left side of the Gigabit Ethernet
port.
To cable another port, repeat steps 1 through 4.
6
When you cable GBIC transceivers, notice that the SC
Receive (RX) port is on the left and the SC Transmit
(TX) port is on the right. See Figure 9.
