Connecting your switch to the network through optical fibers
WARNING!
To avoid injury to your eyes, do not stare at the optical ports and optical fiber connectors when connecting
optical fibers.
You can install a transceiver module (see "
") in a fiber port and use optical fibers to
connect the port to the network. For more information about optical fibers, see "Appendix D Cables."
To connect a fiber port to a peer device through optical fibers:
1.
Install a transceiver module into the port.
2.
Remove the dust cover of the optical fiber connector, and clean the end of the optical fiber.
3.
Remove the dust plug of the transceiver module, connect one end of the optical fiber to the
transceiver module, and connect the other end to the transceiver module in the peer device.

NOTE:
For the QSFP+ module, you do not need to differentiate between the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX)
ports. For other types of transceiver modules, the Tx port on one end must connect to the RX port on the
other end.
