Installing an SFP Transceiver
To install an SFP transceiver:
WARNING: The device uses 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.
1. Remove the socket's protective rubber cover.
NOTE: When the port is not connected to a cable, cover
the port with the rubber cover to protect its optics.
2. Verify that the cable plugs are clean. Dirty cable plugs on fiber cables
impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to
degraded performance of the port.
To clean the cable plugs, wipe them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball
moistened with ethanol.
3. To connect the cable to:
a subscriber, connect one end of the cable to the LC connector on one
of the device's SFP transceivers and the other end to the CPE at the
subscriber’s premises.
Most CPEs require that the fiber cable is hard-wired to the device with
an internal splice.
WARNING: Only trained service-personnel are allowed to
execute this action.
another switch or networking device, connect one end of the cable to
the LC connector on one of the device's SFP transceivers and the other
end to the LC port on the other device.
4. Verify that the port's LED turns green indicating that the link is up.
