Connecting a network device to a fiber port

For direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic transceiver, you need fiber cabling with an LC connector.

To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must perform the following tasks:

• Install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+).
• Cable the fiber-optic transceiver.

For instructions on installing fiber-optic transceivers, refer to Installing a fiber-optic transceiver.

For instructions on cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, refer to Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver.

For instructions on cleaning a fiber-optic module, refer to Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors.
