Cable Devices to the Switch
Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and 
then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF) 
transceivers. LC-type duplex fiber optic cable connectors are designed for SFP 
transceivers. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper orientation. 
Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that matches the 
device host bus adapter.
GL_Ports self configure as FL_Ports when connected to loop of devices or 
F_Ports when connected to a single device. G_Ports self configure as F_Ports 
when connected to a single device. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports self configure as 
E_Ports when connected to another switch.
