Connecting networking cables

Connecting twisted pair cables

The 10/100Base-TX ports, 1000Base-T ports, and 10GBase-T ports on your gateway use RJ-45

connectors and support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. Use category-6A or category-7 twisted pair cables to

connect 10GBase-T ports and category-5 or above to connect other ports. For more information about

twisted pair cables, see "Appendix D Cables."
To connect a 10/100Base-TX, a 1000Base-T port, or a 10GBase-T port to a peer device:

1.

Plug one end of a twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the gateway.

2.

Plug the other end of the twisted pair cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the network access
device.

3.

Examine the port LEDs to verify the connection after the gateway is powered on.
For more information about the LED status, see "Appendix C LEDs."

Connecting 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 "

Installing an XFP/SFP+/SFP/QSFP+ transceiver module

and

Installing a CFP module

") 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.

Remove the dust cover of the optical fiber connector, and clean the end of the optical fiber.
