An optional 10 Gigabit transceiver (XFP) can be used for a backbone connection
between switches, normally uplinked to the service provider through a single
transceiver or with two transceivers trunked together.
Single-mode fiber ports require 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable.
Each fiber optic cable must have an LC connector attached at both ends.
Each 1000BASE-LR/ER single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-
mode fiber optic cable. Each 1000BASE-SR multimode fiber optic port requires
50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling. 1000BASE-SR/LR/ER
uses duplex fiber, operating at the same wavelength for both transmit and
receive signals (SR: 850 nm, LR: 1310 nm, ER: 1550 nm).

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.

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 XFP transceiver.
Remove and keep the port's protective cover. When not connected to a fiber

cable, the cover should be replaced to protect the optics.
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
ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables will impair the quality of the
light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on
the port.
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 only be attached in the correct orientation.
