Connecting the Fiber (SC type connector) Cable
A Multi-mode Fiber cable (50/125µm or 62/125µm, wavelength 850nm) with SC
connector is required for the Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card. The connector connects in a
certain way; do not force to make the connection. Also, make sure to connect the card's
TX port to the RX port of the other device and vise versa.
For cabling requirements and maximum segment distance for the Fiber Adapter, please
refer to the Technical Specifications on page 11.
