10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections; Figure 4-3 Making Connections To Sfp Transceivers - SMC Networks SMC8724ML3 Installation Manual

3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the
other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are
keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch
corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports
operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable
operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under
"1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 4-8.

10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections

An optional 10G transceiver (Xenpak) can be used for a backbone
connection between switches.
Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron
multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. Each
single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic
cable with an SC connector at both ends.
