2. Connect the appropriate optical cable to the transceiver, as shown in
Figure 20.
Figure 20. Connecting to the SFP Transceiver
When attaching a optical cable, be sure to observe the following
guidelines:
ˆ Be sure that the cable connector is firmly locked into place in the
port.
ˆ You should verify that you are using the appropriate type of
optical cabling.
ˆ You should verify that the operating specifications of the remote
fiber optic port are compatible with the SFP transceiver. For
example, you cannot connect a fiber optic SFP transceiver with a
maximum distance of 40 kilometers and an operating wavelength
of 1550 nanometers (nm) to a remote fiber optic port with an
maximum distance of only 10 kilometers and an operating
wavelength of 1310 nm.
ˆ The SFP transceiver consists of two connectors in one slot, as
shown in Figure 20. Each connector connects to a separate fiber
strand. One is for receiving data and the other is for transmitting
data. When connecting a fiber optic cable to a GBIC transceiver,
be sure that the receiver fiber connector is connected to the
transmitter connector on the remote end-node, and the
transmitter fiber connector is connected to the receiver connector
on the remote node.
3. Then connect the other end of the optical cable to the link partner.
