2.5 Network Connection • Twisted-pair segment can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair
(STP) cabling. The cable between the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.)
and the converter, must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long and comply with the
IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard for Category 5e or above.
• Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125 µm single-mode
fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the distance of 10 km.
• Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use 50/125 or 62.5/125 um
multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up to 550m distances.
• The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in
optical communications for both telecommunication and data communication
applications.
To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow the steps shown below:
First, insert the transceiver into the SFP module. Notice that the triangle mark is the bottom of
the module.
