3.6 CONNECTING FIBER OPTIC CABLES TO GPIMs

The following sections describe how to make the SC single-mode and multimode fiber optic cable

connections to GPIMs.

3.6.1 SC Fiber Optic Connections to Network

The GPIM-01, GPIM-08, and the GPIM-09 have an SC style connector used to connect to the

Gigabit Ethernet network. Enterasys Networks offers fiber optic cables that have SC style

connectors. These connectors are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit TX and receive

RX fibers as shown in Figure 3-13.

Figure 3-13 Fiber Port Designations

NOTE: An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between like

devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the

other device and vice versa.
