Connecting interface cables
Connecting an Ethernet cable to a copper port
1.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the copper port on the router. Connect the other end
of the cable to the copper port on the peer device.
The copper ports on the router are MDI/MDIX autosensing.
2.
Examine the port LED on the router to verify that the cable is connected correctly. For more
information about the LEDs, see H3C RA5300 Router Hardware Information and
Specifications.
Connecting an optical fiber to a fiber port
WARNING!
Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the router is operating.
CAUTION:
• Never bend or curve a fiber excessively. The bend radius of a fiber must be not less than 100
mm (3.94 in).
• Keep the fiber end clean.
• Before connecting an optical fiber to a fiber port, make sure the fiber connector matches the
transceiver module in the fiber port.
• To avoid damage to a transceiver module, make sure the received optical power does not
exceed the maximum allowed receive power of the transceiver module.
• To connect an optical fiber to a fiber port, first install the transceiver module in the fiber port and
then connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module. Do not connect an optical fiber directly
to a fiber port.
• If you are not to use a fiber port or transceiver module, insert dust plugs into the port or module.
If you are not to connect an optical fiber, install dust caps for the fiber connector.
WARNING!
Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the router is operating.
