Connecting An Optical Fiber - H3C MSR830 Series Installation Manual

Connecting an optical fiber

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.
CAUTION:
• To connect a fiber port by using an optical fiber, first install a transceiver module in the port and
then connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module.
• Install a dust cap on any open optical fiber connector and insert a dust plug into any open fiber
port or transceiver module port to protect them from contamination and ESD damage.
• Never bend an optical fiber excessively. The bend radius of an optical fiber must be not less than
100 mm (3.94 in).
• Keep the fiber end clean.
• Make sure the Tx and Rx ports on a transceiver module are connected to the Rx and Tx ports on
the peer end, respectively.
Only the MSR830-6HI-GL and MSR830-10HI-GL routers support transceiver modules.
To connect an optical fiber:
Remove the dust plug from a fiber port of the router.
1.
Remove the dust plug from the transceiver module, and plug the end without a pull latch into the

fiber port.
Remove the dust cap 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 fiber port LED. For more information, see
