CS14, CSN14 Series Converter Switches | Installation and User Guide (02/06) |
fiber port 10BASE-FL or 100BASE-FX multi-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns cabling can be used, whereas for single-mode, 9/125 microns cabling should be used. Fiber cabling supports much longer cable distance and higher bandwidths as compared to copper wiring.
Media | IEEE Standard | Connector |
Twisted Pair (CAT 3 or 5) | 10BASE-T | RJ-45 |
Twisted Pair (CAT 5) | 100BASE-TX | RJ-45 |
Fiber (Multi-mode, Single -mode) | 10BASE-FL | ST |
Fiber (Multi-mode) | 100BASE-FX | ST, SC |
Fiber (Single-mode) | 100BASE-FX | SC, LC |
Fiber (Multi-mode) | 100BASE-FX | MTRJ |
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mbps and 100Mbps) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network, since P80-series switch ports are auto-sensing for either 10 and 100Mbps. Note that the auto-cross function does not operate, if the port is fixed or not supporting auto-negotiation.
