installation
When connecting fiber cables to the 1000BASE-X port on the Media Converter, make sure the
correct type is used: LC or SC.
To install the fiber cables, do the following:
Step Action
1. Remove and keep the fiber-port protective dust cover(s).
Note: When not connected to a fiber cable, keep the protective cover(s) on the optical ports
to protect the optics and keep dust and debris from entering the optical interface.
2. Check that the fiber connectors on the fiber-optic cabling are clean. If necessary,
clean the fiber connectors using locally accepted cleaning procedures.
Note: Dirty fiber connectors on fiber optic cables will impair light transmission quality
through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.
3. Connect the fiber cable as shown in Figure 15.

4. Check the corresponding fiber port LED on the Media Converter to verify the
connection—LNK/ACT LED should be lit.
