SC Fiber Optic Connections to Network

The GPIM-01, GPIM-08, and the GPIM-09 have an SC style connector used to connect to the
Gigabit Ethernet network. Enterasys Networks offers fiber optic cables that have SC style
connectors. These connectors are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit TX and receive
RX fibers as shown in
NOTE: An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between like
devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the
other device and vice versa.
