Connecting to Monitoring Devices
Using Standard SC Fiber Cables
If you did not purchase a Net Optics Custom Monitoring Cable, you can easily
modify a standard ber cable by splitting apart the connector on one side of the
cable (see Figure 6).
Warning: Uncovered connectors can emit dangerous laser light. Do not operate
devices with uncovered connectors.
To connect a standard monitoring cable:
1. Prepare a standard SC cable by removing ber strands from the connector clip
so you have a cable similar to Figure 6.
2. Connect the double connector side of the cable to a Regeneration Tap Moni-
toring Port.
3. Connect one single end of the cable into the Rx connector of the monitoring
device’s NIC port to monitor the link.
4. Connect the other single end of the cable into a second Rx connector of the
monitoring device’s NIC to monitor the link.
5. Close the open Tx connectors on the monitoring devices’ NICs with a suitable
cover to prevent injury from laser light.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each monitoring device you wish to connect
to the Regeneration Tap.
