3. Attach the fiber optic data cable to the port on the GBIC module.

Figure 41 Attaching a Fiber Optic Cable to a GBIC Module

When you attach a fiber optic cable to a GBIC module, be sure to
observe the following guidelines:

You should verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber

optic cabling. For GBIC cabling specifications, refer to the GBIC
Installation Guide.

You should verify that the operating specifications of the remote

fiber optic port are compatible with the GBIC module. For
example, you cannot connect a fiber optic GBIC module 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.

Be sure that the cable connector is firmly locked into place in the

port.

If the GBIC module has a dual SC connector, be sure to connect the

receiver fiber port on the module to the transmitter port on the
remote end node, and the transmitter fiber port on the GBIC
module to the receiver port on the remote node.

4. If you have installed an optional expansion module, connect the fiber

optic or twisted pair data cable to the port.
