FOX SW8 Connectors
Risk of serious physical injury: The FOX SW8 outputs continuous
invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution.
•
Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into
the fiber optic cables themselves.
•
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber
cable is unplugged.
•
Singlemode and multimode devices are not interchangeable. Ensure that
you connect transmitting and receiving devices that are compatible with the
FOX SW8.
•
Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your system. Typically,
singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange or
aqua jacket.
•
In this guide, the term "sending connector" refers to an LC connector on a
