Connecting to a Fiber Optic Port

The fiber modules are shown in the figure below.

When you connect fiber cable to a 100 Mbps module on the
switch, be sure you use an SC, ST, MTRJ or VF-45 type connector,
depending on the module. When inserting the cable, be sure the
tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly
seated. For ST-type connections run cable from the Rx (Tx) port
on the module to the Tx (Rx) port on the target device.

Note:

If you need to connect from an SC connector to a device
with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type connectors,
SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number:
99-012034-091).
