Connecting Fiber-Optic Cables to LC Ports
Thissectiondescribeshowtoconnect
•a100 0BASE‐SXmultimodefiber‐opticsegmentfromthenetworkorotherdevicesto

portconnectorofaMini‐GBIC(MGBIC‐LC09).
Eachfiber‐opticlinkconsistsoftwofiber‐optic strandswithinthecable:
•Transmit(TX)
• Receive(RX)
Thetransmitstrandfromadeviceportconnectstothereceiveportofafiber‐opticGigabit

(port2inthisexample)andfromtheconnectorsoneachendofthecable.
Warning: Do not use optical instruments to view laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard.
Advertencia: No utilizar instrumentos opticos para ver el laser. El uso de instrumentos
opticos para ver el laser incrementa el riesgo de perdida de la vision.
Warnhinweis: Benutzen sie keinesfalls optische Hilfmittel, um die Funktion des Lasers zu
überprüfen, es könnte ihr Augenlicht gefährden.
Note: Leave the protective covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent
contamination.
