LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal cause is improper cable polarity.
Swap the fiber cables at the fiber connector to remedy this situation.
3.8.3 Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"
The following procedure applies to installations using SC-type fiber connectors,
i.e., using multi-mode SC and SC single-mode. While connecting fiber media to
SC connectors, simply snap on the two square male connectors into the SC
female jacks of the Fiber connector until it clicks and secures.
3.8.4 Connecting Single-Mode Fiber Optic
When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port
connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode
fiber cable (9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for
multi-mode where xx/xx are the diameters of the core and the core plus the
cladding respectively). Single-mode fiber allows full bandwidth at longer
distances, about 20Km with the multi-mode SC.
The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber apply to single-mode fiber
connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.8.2 above.
