3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device. Some cables may
be terminated at the other end with two separate connectors, one for each fiber optic strand. In
this case, ensure that the transmit fiber optic strand is connected to the receive port and the
receive fiber optic strand to the transmit port.
Caution: Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact
with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If the ends of the fiber optic strands become contaminated, use a canned duster to
blow the surfaces clean. A fiber port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol
may also be used to clean the ends.
Note: To remove the MT-RJ cable connector ➁, press on its release tab ➂ and pull it out of the
Mini-GBIC.
