The procedure following the figures describes how to set up and insert the cables.
Figure 20. Plugging an ethernet cable into a 100BASE-FX expansion module port
The 100BASE-FX expansion module uses SC-style Media Interface Connectors (MICs) to attach
to multimode fiber (MMF) cables.
To attach the segment cables to your 100BASE-FX expansion module, obtain an MMF cable with
an SC MIC and plug the MIC into the port connector. When you plug the other end of the cable into
another device, ensure that the cable connected to the transmit port on the XP is connected to the
receive port on the other device. The receive port on the XP should be connected to the transmit
port on the other device.
