Installing the Patch Cord

As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the Gigabit-LX

mini-GBIC with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit)

port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling

patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.

If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need

to install a female-to-female adapter to allow the cables to be connected

together.

Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has LC connectors on the end that

connects to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC, and has multimode fibers that match

the characteristics of the multimode fiber in your network.

Hewlett-Packard maintains a list of recommended Mode Conditioning Patch

Cords that have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the HP

Procurve Gigabit-LX Transceiver and HP Procurve Gigabit-LX LC
