10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections

BPS IBER
An optional 10 Gigabit transceiver (SFP+) can be used for a backbone
connection between switches.
Single-mode fiber ports require 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable.
Multimode fiber optic ports require 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber
optic cable. Each fiber optic cable must have an LC connector attached at both
ends.

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.

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

cable, the 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
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.
3. 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 be attached in only one orientation.
4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the module to be sure that
the connection is valid.
The 10G fiber optic ports operate at 10 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length
for fiber optic cable operating at 10 Gbps will depend on the fiber type as listed
under "10 Gbps Ethernet Collision Domain" on page
