Connecting Huawei S6700 switch to fiber optic cable

Page Content

To connect a Huawei S6700 switch to a fiber optic cable, use compatible optical modules, pigtails, and jumpers, ensuring TX and RX ports are correctly aligned and ports are protected from dust.

Step-by-Step Connection

1. Prepare the Switch and Optical Modules Install the appropriate SFP/SFP+ optical module into the fiber port of the S6700 switch. Remove the dust cap from the module before connecting the fiber cable to prevent contamination . 2. Prepare the Fiber Cable

  • If using a hybrid optical-electrical cable, splice a pigtail to the main fiber cable.
  • Place the spliced section in a fiber management tray or hybrid cable terminal box to protect it from damage . 3. Connect the Fiber to the Switch
  • Connect the pigtail or jumper to the optical module on the switch.
  • Ensure the TX (transmit) port on the switch connects to the RX (receive) port on the other end, and vice versa. Maintain consistent color coding for fibers in hybrid cables . 4. Using an HDF (Hybrid Distribution Frame)
  • If an HDF is used, connect the pigtail to the HDF first, then use a jumper cable to link the HDF to the switch.
  • Ensure the port numbers on the HDF match the switch ports for proper signal routing . 5. Installation Best Practices
  • Maintain at least 50 mm clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation .
  • If installing multiple switches in a cabinet, leave 1 U spacing between devices.
  • Use surge protectors for outdoor Ethernet connections to protect the switch from lightning . 6. Testing and Verification
  • After connecting, verify the link by checking the port status LEDs on the switch.
  • Use commands like display interface to confirm the fiber port is operational and transmitting/receiving data correctly . By following these steps, the Huawei S6700 switch can be reliably connected to a fiber optic network, ensuring proper alignment, protection, and performance.
