Connecting Fiber Cable

When connecting fiber cable to a 100BASE-FX port

on the Device Server, be sure the correct type – ST,

SC, or WDM - connector is used. Follow the steps

below to properly connect fiber cable:

1. Remove and keep the ST/SC/WDM port's rubber

cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the

rubber cover should be replaced to protect the

optics.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You

can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently

with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a

little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber

optic cables will impair the quality of the light

transmitted through the cable and lead to

degraded performance on the port.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the ST/SC/WDM

port on the Device Server and the other end to the

ST/SC/WDM port on the other device.

Note: When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug

clicks into position to ensure that it is properly

seated.
