Fiber Optic SFP
Devices
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used as a backbone connection between
switches, or as a connection to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable
with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires
50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at
both ends.
WARNING:
fiber optic cable. The lasers are inherently eye safe in
normal operation. However, the user should never look
directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
WARNING:
device, please make sure that it can function at a
temperature that is not less than the recommended
maximum operational temperature of the product. You must
also use an approved laser SFP transceiver.
Step1. Remove and keep the LC port's rubber plug. When it's not connected to a
fiber cable, the rubber plug should be replaced to protect the optics.
Step2. 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 optic cables will impair the quality of the light
transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.
Step3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end
to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be
attached in only one orientation.

Step4. 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 fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps. 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 27.
