MIM-1GEF/MIM-2GEF Module 73
Interface Cable For MIM-1GEF/MIM-2GEF, select fiber-optic depending on the type of the installed
1000Base-SX/1000 Base-LX SFP. As the interfaces provided by these SFP modules
use LC-type fiber-optic connectors, you must use fibers with LC connectors for
them.

■ LC-type fiber-optic connectors were compact fiber-optic connectors developed
by Lucent.
■ The fibers are provided depending on the purchased SFPs. Therefore, please
provide information on the SFPs when purchasing FICs; by default, the fibers
are not provided.

CAUTION: When connecting the optical fiber, observe the following
■ Do not over-bend the optical fiber. Its curvature radius must be no less than 10
cm (3.9 in).
■ Ensure that the Tx and Rx ends are correctly connected.
■ Ensure that the fiber ends are clean.

WARNING: Laser danger: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the
fiber-optic ports which are connected to lasers. To protect your eyes against
radiation harm, never stare into an open fiber-optic port.
Step 1: Insert the SFP optical module into its corresponding slot.
Step 2: Locate the Rx and Tx ports of the MIM-1GEF/MIM-2GEF interface. Connect
them to another device with two optical fibers: Rx to Tx and Tx to Rx.
Step 3: Power on the router and check the behavior of the LINK LED on the
MIM-1GEF/MIM-2GEF panel. ON means an Rx link is present and OFF means the
opposite. In the latter case, check the line status.

LED Description
LINK OFF means no link is present; ON means a
link is present.
ACT OFF means no data is being transmitted or
received; blinking means data is being
received or/and transmitted.
