Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system.
They allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system
debugging and maintenance more convenient. There are multiple types of fiber connectors.

Connecting a fiber cable

WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when you connect an optical fiber. The laser light emitted from the
optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
To connect a fiber cable:
Remove the dust plug from a fiber port of the router.
1.
Remove the dust cover from the transceiver module, and plug the end without a pull latch into
2.
the fiber port.
Remove the dust cover from the fiber connector.
3.
Identify the Rx and Tx ports. Plug the LC connector at one end of one fiber cable into the Rx port
4.
of the router and the LC connector at the other end into the Tx port of the peer device. Plug the
LC connector at one end of another fiber cable into the Tx port of the router and the LC
connector at the other end to the Rx port of the peer device.
Examine the LINK LED after connection.
5.
If the LED is on, the optical fiber link is present.
If the LED is off, no link is present. This might be because the TX and Rx port of the optical
fiber are not connected correctly. In this case, connect the optical fiber again.
