Fiber Optic SFP Devices
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or
1000BASE-ZX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for
connecting to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with
an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or
62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at both ends.
Warning: These switches use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers
are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are
inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look
directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure that it
can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended maximum
operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved Laser
Class 1 SFP transceiver.
1.
Remove and keep the LC port's rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber
cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.
2.
Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by
wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little
