2.8 Making Fiber Connection
The SFP slot must be installed with an SFP fiber transceiver for making fiber connection. Your
switch may come with some SFP transceivers pre-installed when it is shipped.
Installing SFP Fiber Transceiver
To install an SFP fiber transceiver into SFP slot, the steps are:
1. Turn off the power to the switch.
2. Insert the SFP fiber transceiver into the SFP slot. Normally, a bail is provided for every SFP
transceiver. Hold the bail and make insertion.
3. Until the SFP transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place the bail in lock position.
Connecting Fiber Cables
LC connectors are commonly equipped on most SFP transceiver modules. Identify TX and RX
connector before making cable connection. The following figure illustrates a connection example
between two fiber ports:
Make sure the Rx-to-Tx connection rule is followed on the both ends of the fiber cable.
Network Cables
Multimode (MMF) - 50/125, 62.5/125
Single mode (SMF) - 9/125
Fiber Port Configuration
For 100M fiber application on Port 4 and Port 5, it is necessary to configure 100 Full for the port with
fiber connection. For 1000M fiber application on Port 6, just leave the default port configuration Auto
for fiber connection.
