How to install Accortec 100BASE-FX SFP Transceiver
- Prepare the host device: Confirm that the switch, router, or server supports SFP modules and 100BASE-FX operation. Ensure you have the correct fiber cabling and connectors for your network path.
- Insert the transceiver: With the host device powered on (hot-swap capable) or powered down as advised by your equipment’s maintenance guidelines, insert the Accortec SFP transceiver into the available SFP slot until it latches securely.
- Connect the fiber: Attach the multimode fiber cable to the transceiver using the appropriate connector type. Ensure proper insertion and secure connection to minimize signal loss and reflections.
- Verify alignment and link: Check the host device’s management interface or LED indicators to verify a Link/Active status. If the link is not established, reseat the transceiver and fiber or verify fiber polarity and path integrity.
- Test network operation: Run basic connectivity tests such as pinging a known good device on the FX link and monitor traffic to confirm stable 100BASE-FX performance. Monitor the Link/Activity LEDs for ongoing health checks.
