Cabling a Fiber-Optic Transceiver

Perform the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.

  1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
    Note: Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, RUCKUS strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. Refer to Cleaning the Fiber-Optic Connectors.
  2. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock into place.
  3. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.
    Note: To verify that a RUCKUS ICX 7550 can reach another device through the network, use the ping command at any level of the CLI. For more information, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Management Configuration Guide.
