IP700 Series Installation Guide
Hardware Setup
When you specify that a gigabit Ethernet NIC is to be included with your
IP700 Series appliance, the board is installed before the appliance is
delivered to you. You connect the card to compatible network
components using appropriate interface cables as described in the
following section.
Connectors and Cables
To connect the card to other network components, use a multimode,
fiber-optic cable with an LC connector for each card interface. The
destination end of the cable can be either LC or SC, depending on the type
of connector required for the destination gigabit Ethernet device. You can
also use an LC-to-LC cable for loopback purposes.
An LC-to-SC cable is included with single-port gigabit Ethernet NICs,
and two LC-to-SC cables are included with dual-port gigabit Ethernet
NICs. You can order additional cables from a cable vendor of your choice.
