SFP
DEVICES
An optional Gigabit SFP transceiver (1 000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-
LH) can be used for a backbone conne ctio n between switches, or for connecting
to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-m ode fiber optic cable
with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/
125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at
both ends.
