Ruckus ICX 7450 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 51
Part Number: 53-1003899-09
For more information about automatic MDI or MDIX detection and configuration details, refer to the Ruckus FastIron Management
Configuration Guide.
Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the device to a 1 GbE network interface card, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic transceiver, you will need
fiber cabling with an LC connector.
For information about transceivers supported on Ruckus ICX 7450 devices, refer to the Ruckus Optics Family Data Sheet.
To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must complete the following tasks:
• Install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, or SFP+). Refer to “Installing an SFP or SFP+ transceiver” on page 49.
• Cable the fiber-optic transceiver
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
Use the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Ruckus strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors.
For more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors” on page 51.
3. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock
into place.
4. Observe the link and activity LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about
the LED indicators, refer to “LED activity interpretation” on page 53.
To verify that a Ruckus ICX 7450 can reach another device through the network, use the ping command at any level of the CLI.
For more information, refer to the Ruckus FastIron Management Configuration Guide.
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+) and the fiber cable connectors,
Ruckus strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the
connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Ruckus recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP connector, make
sure to keep the protective covering in place.
