NOTE:
•
The SR6602-X supports LC fiber cables only.
• Some cards of the H3C SR6602-X router provide shielded covers for the fiber ports (such as SFP ports).
Before using such fiber ports, remove the shielded covers. Keep the shielded covers properly. When the
fiber ports are not in use, install the shielded covers.
• Fiber connectors are fitted with dust caps. Keep the dust caps properly when the fiber connectors are in
use. Install dust caps when the fiber connectors are not in use to avoid damage to their end face. Replace
the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.
• Before connecting an optical fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the
two fiber connectors. You can brush the end faces only in one direction.
• After a fiber is installed well, the bend radius must be not less than 10 cm (3.94 in).
• If the fiber has to pass through a metallic board hole, the hole must have a sleek and fully filleted surface
(the filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm, or 0.08 in). When passing through a metallic board
hole or bending along the acute side of mechanical parts, the fiber must wear jackets or cushions.
• Insert and remove a plug with care. Never exert a fierce force to the fiber or plug; otherwise the plug
may be damaged or the fiber may be broken. Never pull, press or extrude the fiber fiercely. For the
allowed maximum tensile load and crush load, see
Table 10 .
Connecting a fiber cable
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when you connect an optical fiber. The laser light emitted from the optical
fiber may hurt your eyes.
To connect a fiber cable:
1. Remove the dust plug from a fiber port of the router.
2. Install the transceiver module
3. Identify the Rx and Tx ports. Plug the LC connector at one end of one fiber cable into the Rx port
of the router and the LC connector at the other end into the Tx port of the peer device. Plug the LC
connector at one end of another fiber cable into the Tx port of the router and the LC connector at
the other end to the Rx port of the peer device.
4. View the LINK LED after connection.
{
If the LED is on, the optical fiber link is present.
{
If the LED is off, no link is present. This may be because the TX and Rx port of the optical fiber
are not connected correctly. In this case, connect the optical fiber again.
