When the clips are unfastened, the connector can be disconnected from the port. To do so, push down on the RJ-45 connector clip and slide it out. To disconnect the 3-pin LED connector, pull firmly with your fingertips on both sides until the connector slides out. Step 6 from the main switch, slide it out of the unit.
ONNECTORS Each port panel is fed by a 3-pin LED connector, indicating network activity, as well as a CAT5e RJ45 or fibre jumper that connects to the EtherCon or OpticalCon QUAD connector on that panel. These cables are ® bundled together inside a TechFlex sleeve.
IXED EDIA PORTS Fig. 1 Note! Ports 9 and 10 on the GBS switch are mixed media ports and can function as ether Ethernet or Fibre Optic Ports. It is important to remember, that each port can only manage one data stream at a time. Although it is possible to physically plug both fibre and Ethernet into the mixed media ports, do not do so, because the different streams cannot operate on the same internal port.
ODULE SSEMBLY 1. The connector must be placed in to the new location from which the blank port housing was removed making sure, that the white marking on the housing is towards the upper part of the unit and that the port housing is seated firmly.

5. Insert the blank port housing into the empty slot. Step 5 6. Replace the screws on both panels, top and bottom. 7. Screw the grounding cable back to the unit if disconnected from the case lid. If not disconnected, put the case lid back onto the unit and fasten it securely.
IBER PTIC NSTALLATION If an OpticalCON QUAD connector is installed for the first time, you will need an SFP module to be inserted in the fibre optic port to connect the LC Duplex connector. ProPlex GBS 1U models that come with OpticalCON QUAD connectors as standard are equipped with a MikroTIK 1.25G SFP transceiver with a 850nm Dual LC connector, for up to 550 meter Multi Mode fibre connection, with DDM (Fig.
Page 16
3. Press the fibre cable into the SFP until the clicking sound is heard. This means that the Duplex connector is in place. 4. Connect the 3-pin LED connector by pushing it with sfingertips until it clicks into place. Note: To undo the Duplex connector, push down on the plastic clip and pull the connector out.
