5EFL Port Adapter Multimode Fiber-Optic Cable and Receptacles

The interface connectors on the 5EFL port adapter are five pairs of (ST) receptacles, designated as RX and TX. You can use all five connection pairs simultaneously or any combination of each pair individually. Each connection pair supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces compliant with appropriate standards. Figure 6 shows the ST fiber-optic cable plug used for RX and TX connections.

Note The 5EFL interfaces on a VIP2 are configured for 10 Mbps, half duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 50 Mbps for half-duplex. Cisco Systems does not supply ST-type optical-fiber cables; these cables are available commercially. For ST-type, multimode optical-fiber cable specifications and transmission distance limitations and requirements, refer to the section “IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL Specifications” on page 7.
