Hub to Switch

string fiber crossover cable.

NOTE: If your SC connectors are not locked together the TX and

RX on the PC's side, the cable connectors at the switch must

reversed to RX and TX of the Switch. This allows a TX from the

card to enter into the RX of the switch. Locked (paired) SC

connectors should be manufactured in this manner.
