1.5. Overview of the Optional SFP Modules
With the MS888G2, the SFP ports are paired with RJ-45 copper ports 25 and 26. Only one of any
given paired port can be used. In this manner, these paired ports can be seen as ‘Dual Media’
ports that support 10/100/1000Mbps or 1000Mbps fibre via the SFP interfaces.
Optional 1000Mbps mini-GBIC fibre transceiver modules can be used for high-speed uplink
connections to fibre backbones or servers, when installed in the SFP ports. A range of optional
Alloy mini-GBIC modules are available:
Alloy Part No.

Notes: *
The two WDM (Wave Division Multiplexer) mini-GBIC modules are
designed to facilitate a link over a single core of single-mode fibre cable.
The two units must be used in a paired manner, one at either end of the link.
*
Mini-GBIC modules that are designed to the relevant standards should be
compatible with any make of switch with SFP ports. If you have concerns
regarding
compatibility, please contact the supplier of your mini-GBIC
product.
