how to install Accortec 100BASE-FX SFP

Step 1: Prepare the network device. Power down or place the device into a safe state for service, or if your equipment supports hot-swapping, confirm that the host port is ready for an SFP insertion. Identify an available SFP slot that supports 100BASE-FX modules and is compatible with the Accortec transceiver.

Step 2: Remove the dust cap. Gently twist or pull off the protective dust cap from the SFP to expose the connector. Inspect the connector for any debris, and ensure the slot area is clean to prevent contamination of optical interfaces.

Step 3: Insert the SFP into the slot. Align the module with the slot and slide it in firmly until the latch engages and holds the module securely. Do not force the module; if you encounter resistance, remove it and reinsert to ensure proper seating and alignment.

Step 4: Attach the fiber cable. Connect the fiber optic link to the SFP’s optical interface using the appropriate multimode fiber and connector type specified for your deployment. Verify correct Tx/Rx polarity and ensure the fiber path is clean and free of kinks. Secure the fiber cable to prevent movement that could affect the connector alignment or cause damage to the transceiver.

Step 5: Power up and verify. Restore power to the device or monitor its status if hot-swapping is supported. Check the device’s management interface or the on-board LEDs to confirm link establishment and activity. If the link does not come up, recheck fiber type, connector compatibility, polarity, and whether the host port is configured for 100BASE-FX operation with the correct duplex settings. Document link status and perform basic performance tests to validate throughput and stability.
