3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the
other end to the SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are
keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

4. As a connection is made, check the Activity LED on the switch’s front
panel for the corresponding module to be sure that the connection is
valid.
Note: If you use the optional SC-ST Converter, be sure to connect the
converter’s Tx (Rx) port to the Rx (Tx) port on the other device.
The 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate only at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
You can run a single-mode fiber link up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles). The
1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports
operate at 1 Gbps full duplex, with autonegotiation of flow control. The
maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit speed will
depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Collision Domain” on page 4-7. Note that power budget constraints must
also be considered when calculating the maximum cable length for your
specific environment.
