ST Fiber Connections

The SMC9432FTX-ST model includes an SC-ST Converter that
plugs into the card's SC port. With the SC-ST Converter installed,
the network card supports 100BASE-FX ST-fiber connections using
62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling.
Use the following procedure to make an ST connection to the
network.
1. Remove the protective caps from the ends of the SC-ST
Converter plugs and insert the SC ends into the card's SC port.
2. Connect the cable's "Rx" connector to the network card's "Tx"
port, and the cable's "Tx" connector to the card's "Rx" port
(see Figure 2-5).
3. Be sure to connect the cable's Rx (Tx) connectors to the Tx
(Rx) ports on the other device.
4. Make certain that the device you are connecting to is specified
for 100 Mbps operation.
