Installing the Patch Cord
As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the
Gigabit-LX Transceiver with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to
the Tx (transmit) port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your
network cabling patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.
If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need
to install a female-to-female adapter to allow the cables to be connected
together.

port on Gigabit-LX Transceiver
Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has SC connectors on the end
that connects to the Gigabit-LX Transceiver and has multimode fibers that
match the characteristics of the multimode fiber in your network.
Recommended Patch Cords
Hewlett-Packard maintains a list of recommended Mode Conditioning
Patch Cords that have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the
HP Procurve Gigabit-LX Transceiver.
The list is on the HP Procurve web site, http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve,
