Attaching the Interface Cables Chapter 3 Installing the Switch Step 9 Step 10 Step 11 Remove the dust plugs from the SFP transceiver optical bores. Immediately attach the network interface cable LC connector to the SFP transceiver. To connect 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers to a copper network, perform the following substeps: Caution To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded, shielded, twisted-pair, Category 5 cabling. a. Insert the Category 5 network cable RJ-45 connector into the SFP transceiver socket. Note When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four twisted-pair, straight-through Category 5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover Category 5 cabling. Step 12 b. Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 port on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target device. Observe the port status LED: • The LED turns green when the SFP transceiver and the target device have an established link. • The LED turns amber while STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green. • If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter that is installed in the target device.

Chapter 3
Installing the Switch
Attaching the Interface Cables
Step 9
Remove the dust plugs from the SFP transceiver optical bores.
Step 10
Immediately attach the network interface cable LC connector to the SFP transceiver.
Step 11
To connect 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers to a copper network, perform the following substeps:
Caution
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded,
shielded, twisted-pair, Category 5 cabling.
a.
Insert the Category 5 network cable RJ-45 connector into the SFP transceiver socket.
Note
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four
twisted-pair, straight-through Category 5 cabling for the SFP transceiver port. When
connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover
Category 5 cabling.
b.
Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 port on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target
device.
Step 12
Observe the port status LED:
The LED turns green when the SFP transceiver and the target device have an established link.
The LED turns amber while STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This
process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or
there might be a problem with the adapter that is installed in the target device. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section of your switch hardware guide for solutions to cabling problems.
