2-1-2-1. Cabling Requirements for TP Ports
⇒ For Fast Ethernet copper network connections
The Cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of 100 meters.
⇒ Gigabit Ethernet copper network connection
The Cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of 100 meters.
Cat. 5e is recommended.
2-1-2-2. Cabling Requirements for 1000SX/LX SFP Module
There are two categories of fiber, multi mode (MM) and single mode (SM). The
later is categorized into several classes by the distance it supports. They are SX, LX,
LHX, XD, and ZX. In terms of physical connectors for SFP modules, there currently
is only LC and WDM SC types
Gigabit Fiber with multi-mode LC SFP module
Gigabit Fiber with single-mode LC SFP module
Gigabit Fiber with WDM SC 1310nm SFP module
Gigabit Fiber with WDM SC 1550nm SFP module
The following table lists the types of fiber that are supported. Others not listed
here may be support upon request.
