2.6 Cabling
Use the four twisted-pair, category 5e, or the above cabling for the RJ-45 port connections. The
cable between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than
100 meters (328 ft.) in length.
2.6.1 Gigabit Combo Port - Copper/SFP (Mini-GBIC)
Antaira’s LNX-0802C-SFP series has two
auto-detected Gigabit combo ports
(2*10/100/1000Tx RJ45, and 2*100/1000
SFP slots for fiber connection).
The Gigabit copper
(10/100/1000T) ports should use
category 5e or the above
UTP/STP cable for the connection
up to 1000Mbps. The small form-
factor pluggable (SFP) is a
compact optical transceiver used
in optical communications for both
telecommunication and data
communications.
The SFP slots support dual rate mode, which can switch the connection speed between
100 and 1000Mbps. They are used for connecting to the network segment with single
or multi-mode fiber. Users must first choose the appropriate SFP transceiver to plug
into the slots, and then choose the proper multi-mode or single-mode fiber according to
the transceiver being used. When fiber optic is used, it transmits at a speed up to 1000
Mbps and it can prevent noise interference from the system.
**Note:
The Gigabit combo ports (SFP/Copper) cannot be working at the same time.
The SFP port
has the higher priority than the copper port. When inserting a 100M or 1000M SFP transceiver
(which has connected to the remote device via fiber cable) into the SFP port, the connection of
the accompanying copper port will be linked down.
