Follow these guidelines when you connect a fiber cable:
• Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it. After a fiber is installed well, the bend radius must
be not less than 10 cm (3.94 in).
• Keep the fiber end clean.
• Make sure the fiber connector matches the transceiver module.
• Before connecting a fiber, make sure the optical power at the receiving end does not exceed the
upper threshold of the optical receive power of the transceiver module. Otherwise, the transceiver
module might be damaged.
To connect the firewall to the network through an optical fiber:
1. Remove the dust plug on the fiber port.
2. Remove the dust cover from the transceiver module and insert it into the fiber port.
3. Remove the dust cover of the optical fiber connector, and use dust free paper and absolute alcohol
clean the end face of the fiber connector.
4. Identify the Rx and Tx ports on the transceiver module, plug one end of the optical fiber into the
transceiver module in the firewall, and plug the other end into the transceiver module in the peer
device.
