Making Fiber Connection - KTI Networks KGC-301 Installation Manual

2.6 Making Fiber Connection

The mini-GBIC SFP port must be installed with an SFP fiber transceiver for making fiber connection.
Your device may come with an SFP transceiver pre-installed when it was shipped.
Installing SFP Fiber Transceiver
To install an SFP fiber transceiver into the SFP port, the steps are:
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Insert the SFP fiber transceiver into the SFP port. Normally, a bail is provided for every SFP
transceiver. Hold the bail and make insertion.
3. Until the SFP transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place the bail in lock position.
Dual Speed Support
The SFP port supports 1000BASE-X based SFP fiber transceivers and 100BASE-FX based SFP fiber
transceivers. Select "Auto" for port configuration. The system will detect the type of the installed
transceiver and configure the port properly and automatically by default.
Connecting Fiber Cables
LC connectors are commonly equipped on most SFP transceiver modules. Identify TX and RX
connector before making cable connection. The following figure illustrates a connection example
between two fiber ports:
Make sure the Rx-to-Tx connection rule is followed on the both ends of the fiber cable.
