Connecting the Cables

P332G-ML modules include the following types of ports (according to the speed and standard they support): 1000Base-SX/LX.

To connect the cables:

1Insert an SFP GBIC (Small Form Factor Plugable Gigabit Interface Converter) transceiver (not supplied) to the port housing. For a list of approved SFP GBIC transceivers, see www.avayanetwork.com. For fiberoptic cable properties, see Table 4.3.

Note: GBICs are 3.3V.

2Connect the Ethernet fiberoptic cable (not supplied) to the GBIC transceiver on the front panel of the Avaya P332G-ML. You can use LC or MT-RJ fiberoptic cables depending on the GBIC transceiver you are using.

3Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the PC, server, router, workstation, switch, or hub.

4Check that the appropriate link (LNK) LED lights up.

Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier.

Table 4.3 displays the different types of SFP GBIC interfaces, their fiber type, diameter, modal bandwidth, wavelengths, minimum and maximum distance.
