will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and
lead to degraded performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the
other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are
keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch
corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
The 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full
duplex. The maximum length for fiber optic cable operating at Gigabit
speeds will depend on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet Cable Lengths” on page 4-6. Also, remember to consider power
budget constraints when calculating the maximum cable length for each
specific connection.
