Figure 9 Fiber Optic Connector for Alteon Web Switches

The following table lists the cable characteristics for connecting to 1000Base-SX ports.

Table 4 1000Base-SX Link Characteristics

Description	62.5 Micron	50 Micron
	Shortwave (850 nm multimode fiber)

Operating Range	2 to 260 meters	2 to 550 meters
		(in compliance with IEEE 802.3z)

10/100 Mbps Ethernet via the RJ-45 Connector

Use a straight-through cable on the 10/100 Mbps ports if the device attached to the port is a computer. If the device is a switch, hub, or router, use a crossover cable. See the figure below for cabling details. You can use a straight-through cable with a switch, hub, or router if it has an uplink enable/disable switch that you can set.
