Figure 17-30 Simplex LC-Type Cable and Connector

Figure 17-31 Duplex LC-Type Cable and Connector

Attach the appropriate optical fiber cable directly to the SC-type receptacle on the GBIC module, the

LC-type connector on the SFP module, or the LC- or SC-type connector on the line card. You can use

either simplex or duplex connectors for most devices.

• For simplex connectors, two cables are required, one cable for transmit (TX) and a second cable for

receive (RX).

• For duplex connectors, only one cable that has both TX and RX connectors is required.

Note For LR, a minimum of 10 dB of total attenuation between transmitter and receiver is required. Exceeding

the maximum receive power can damage the optics.

Note For LR2, a minimum of 12 dB of total attenuation between transmitter and receiver is required.

Exceeding the maximum receive power can damage the optics.

Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
