full duplex mode across distances of up to 2 km over multi-mode ber-
optic cable. The ber port has a choice of three ber connector types:
ST, SC or WDM.
100Base-TX Port
The 100Base-TX port supports network speed of 100 Mbps, and can
operate in half and full duplex transfer modes. The RJ-45 connector is
suitable for UTP cable Category 3, 4, 5 or better.
1000Base-LX Port
The 1000Base-LX port adds a ber Gigabit Ethernet link to your network
device. Compliant with IEEE 802.3z, this port transmits data at 1,000 Mbps
in full duplex mode across distances of up to 220 m over multi-mode ber-
optic cable. The ber port accepts SC or WDM connectors.
1000Base-T Port
The 1000Base-T port supports a network speed of 1,000 Mbps and
operates in full duplex transfer mode. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for
UTP cable Category 5 or better.
(Redundant) Gigabit SFP Slot
To connect a ber cable’s connector to a converter’s SFP slot, slide the
selected SFP module (mini-GBIC) into the SFP slot, making sure that
the module’s receptors line up with the receptors at the back of the slot.
Push until you hear a click. Once the module is inserted correctly, take
the cable connector and turn it so that it will t into the mouth of the
module. Then push the connector into the mouth until its snaps into the
receiving grooves in the module’s mouth. Use the appropriate type of
multi-mode or single-mode ber, depending on the SFP module being
used. The ber optics transmit data at up to 1,000 Mbps and can maintain
data integrity over cable distances as long as 60 km, depending on the
selected SFP (mini-GBIC) module.
