g027016 Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8216 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a J-EX Series switch: WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes. 1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap. 2. Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap. 3. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver (see Figure 56 on page 128). Figure 56: Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to an Optical Transceiver Installed in a J-EX Series Switch Transceiver Fiber-optic cable 4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape. CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.
