How to install Cisco 100Base Fx Sfp Module Multi Moderugged
- Power considerations: If your network device supports hot-swapping, you can install the module without powering down. If unsure, power down the chassis or switch before inserting the module.
- Prepare the module: Remove any protective dust cap from the SFP, handle the module by its edges, and inspect the housing for any visible damage.
- Insert into the SFP slot: Align the module with the slot and insert until it seats firmly with a click. Ensure the device is stable and that the module is fully seated.
- Attach fiber cabling: Connect a USB LC duplex fiber patch cord that matches your fiber type (multimode or single-mode) to the LC duplex connector on the module. Verify proper polarity and secure the connector.
- Connect the remote end: Attach the other end of the fiber link to the corresponding port on the remote device, ensuring the same fiber type and compatibility (multimode or single-mode).
- Verify link and operation: Power on the device if you powered down. Check the LOS/Link LED indicators on both devices. Use the appropriate management interface (CLI or GUI) to confirm the 100BASE-FX interface is up and passing traffic. Run a basic connectivity test (ping, throughput test) to verify end-to-end connectivity.
