The trunk interface is made with the SC connector, which is available in two types:
z Long haul LX single-mode interface
z Short haul SX multi-mode interface
For each type of optical transceiver, it should connect with corresponding optical fiber
with proper mode. Incorrect fiber mode may affect link distance or even link fail.
Interface Type Proper Mode for the Interface
Long haul LX single-mode
interface
Single-mode (SM), 9/125 micron
Short haul SX multi-mode
interface
Multi-mode (MM), 50/125 or 62.5/125-micron
The two types of interface are visually and functionally similar. Installation procedures
are the same. This dual port has both connectors on transmit (upstream) and a receiving
(downstream) is shown below.
Follow the steps below to connect the fiber channel:
1. Read and understand the previous warnings and alarm.
2. Remove the protective caps from the fiber optic connector and from the external data
cable.
3. Attach the external cable to the recessed connector on the faceplate.
4. To avoid exposure to laser radiation, plug the protective cap. Store protective cap
on the clear place to use when there is no optical fiber connection or on stock.
