An optional slide-in 100BASE-FX module can be used for backbone and long distance connections.

Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector at both ends. If you need to connect to a device with 62.5/125 micron cable that has ST-type connectors, SMC provides an optional SC-ST Converter (Part Number: 99-012034-091).

Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable with an SC connector at both ends.
