Installing Fiber-Optic Interface Cables
To install fiber-optic cables, you can use two LC connectors (Figure 83: Simplex LC Cable Connector, on
page 131) or one duplex LC connector (Figure 84: Duplex LC Cable Connector , on page 131).
Optical fiber cables are available from cable vendors. These cables are not available from Cisco.
Note
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or

Warning
Connectors on the fiber-optic cables must be free of dust, oil, or other contaminants. Before connecting the
cable to the line card, carefully clean the fiber-optic connectors using an alcohol wipe or other suitable cleanser.
See Cleaning Fiber-Optic Connectors, on page 133 for more information.
Note
To install a cable, follow these steps:
1. Remove the connector dust cover if one is present.
2. Align the connector end of the cable to the appropriate port. Observe the RX and TX cable relationship
on the cables.
3. Attach fiber cable between the port in the line card and the device to which the line card is connected.
4. Insert the fiber cable connector until it clicks and locks into place.
5. Repeat these steps until all cabling is complete.
The fiber-optic connectors must be free of dust, oil, or other contaminants. Carefully clean the fiber- optic
connectors using an alcohol wipe or other suitable cleanser.
