Connect Cables to Transceiver Ports
About This Task
To connect cables to transceiver ports:
Procedure
1. Remove the protective covers from the transceiver and from the connectors on each end of the
cable.
2. Insert the cable connector into the transceiver connector until it clicks into place.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device.

each fiber-optic strand. In this case, ensure that the transmit fiber-optic strand from the appliance is
connected to the receive port of the other device, and the receive fiber-optic strand on the appliance
is connected to the transmit port of the other device.
4. If a transceiver port is unused, install a dust cover.
