Making Network Connections
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 switch corresponding to
the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LH fiber optic ports operate at
1 Gbps full duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit
speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under "1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Collision Domain" on page 4-7.

10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections

An optional 10 Gigabit transceiver (XFP) 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.
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 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.
