Installation
3. Attach the fiber optic data cables to the fiber optic ports.
Figure 36 Attaching a Fiber Optic Cable
When attaching a fiber optic cable, be sure to observe the
following guidelines:
# Be sure that the cable connector is firmly locked into place in the
port.
# If the fiber optic port has a dual SC connector, be sure to connect
the receiver fiber port to the transmitter port on the remote end
node, and the transmitter fiber port to the receiver port on the
remote node.
# You should verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber
optic cabling. For an AT-8016F Series or AT-8026FC switch, refer to
Planning the Installation on page 53. For an optional GBIC
module, refer to the GBIC Installation Guide. For an optional
fiber optic expansion module, refer to the Expansion Module
Installation Guide.
# You should verify that the operating specifications of the switch's
fiber optic port are compatible with the fiber optic port on the
remote end node. For example, you cannot connect a fiber optic
port with a maximum distance of 2 kilometers and an operating
wavelength of 1310 nm to another fiber optic port that has a
maximum distance of 40 kilometers and an operating wavelength
of 1550 nanometers (nm).
