Connecting with a Fiber-Optic Cable

To connect your adapter to a network with a ﬁber-optic cable, do the following:

1. Remove the protective end caps and save them.

Caution: 10-Gigabit optics are sensitive. If you plan to leave them disconnected for any

signiﬁcant length of time, you must replace the end caps. The optics on the adapter

cannot be cleaned.

2. Insert the LC connector on one end of the ﬁber-optic cable into the adapter, as

shown in Figure 2-1. Ensure that the connector is inserted completely into the jack.

3. Insert the connector on the other end of the ﬁber-optic cable into the connector on

the Ethernet switch or on another computer system (as appropriate).

Note: If your network connects to an Ethernet switch, consult the operating manual for

the switch to ensure that the switch port is enabled and conﬁgured correctly.
