Connecting Fiber Cable
When connecting fiber cable to a 100BASE-FX port
on the Converter, be sure the correct type - ST or SC
or WDM - connector is used. Follow the steps below
to properly connect fiber cable:
1. Remove and keep the ST/SC/WDM port's rubber
cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the
rubber cover should be replaced to protect the
optics.
2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You
can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently
with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a
little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic
cables will impair the quality of the light
transmitted through the cable and lead to
degraded performance on the port.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the ST/SC/WDM
port on the Converter and the other end to the
ST/SC/WDM port on the other device.
Note: When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug
clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
4. Check the corresponding port LED on the
Converter to make sure that the connection is
valid. (Refer to the LED chart in next section)
