Avaya P330 modules include the following types of ports (according to the speed and standard they support): 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX.

Note: To interconnect Avaya P330 switches with twisted pairs, crossed cables are required.

•The maximum UTP cable length connected to a 10/100 Mbps port operating as 10Base-T, is 100 m (328 ft.).

•A UTP Category 5 cable must be connected to any 100Base-TX port, via an RJ45 connector. The maximum UTP cable length connected to a 10/100 Mbps port operating as 100Base-TX, is 100 m (328 ft.).

•A fiberoptic cable must be connected to any 100Base-FX port, via a pair of SC connectors. The maximum fiber cable length connected to a 100Base-FX port is 412 m (1,352 ft) when operating in half duplex, and 2 km (6,562 ft) when operating in full duplex.

•The maximum length of fiber optic cable connected to a 12 fiber MT-RJ port is 2 km (6,562 ft).

Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier.
