Optical Fiber; E1 Cable - H3C CR16000-F Installation Manual

5. Crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimping pliers until you hear a click.
6. Repeat the above steps with the other end of the cable.
7. Use a cable tester to verify the proper connectivity of the cable.

Optical fiber

CAUTION:
Use the same types of transceiver modules, pigtail cords, patch cords, and fiber cables. If you use
single-mode optical fibers, the transceiver modules, pigtail cords, patch cords, and fiber cables must
be single-mode.
Optical fiber
Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which are advantageous for
long-distance communications.
Optical fibers can be classified into the following types:
•
Single mode fiber—It has a core size of 10 µm or smaller, and has a lower modal dispersion. It
carries only a single ray of light. It is mostly used for communication over longer distances.
•
Multi-mode fiber—It has a core size of 50 µm or 62.5 µm or higher, and has a higher modal
dispersion than single-mode optical fiber. It is mostly used for communication over shorter
distances.
