Cable Connection 33

The cables need to be connected to the XG2000 XFP modules.
1. Connect the fiber optic cables to the XG2000.
Connect the fiber optic cables to the XFP modules (Port 1 - Port 20) on the front of XG2000.
CAUTION
An fiber optic connector is used when connecting two fiber optic cables. When con-
nectors such as these are used, it is important that they be connected correctly.
If a connector is misconnected, or cleaned incorrectly, it can be damaged. If the Fiber
optic connector is dirty or damaged, data transmission may become errorprone and/
or unstable.
AttentionAttention
• It is necessary that the connectors be fixed in the correct position, in order to
protect the connector interface against external influences.
• Connection quality is influenced by two factors: the type of connector and whether
it is properly cleaned and connected. Optical losses are often caused by dirty fiber
connectors. Always keep your connectors clean and protect them with a dust
power plug or cover if they are not being used.
• Before connecting any cables or connectors, use an lint-free alcohol pad
(included in the cleaning kit) to clean the ferrule, the protective tube, and the end
of the fiber core. If a large light loss is detected, and the cause is not immediately
clear, clean the connector as a first attempt to resolve the problem.
