2-1-2-1. Cabling Requirements for TP Ports

For Fast Ethernet TP network connection

The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of 100 meters.

Gigabit Ethernet TP network connection

The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of 100 meters. Cat. 5e is recommended.

2-1-2-2. Cabling Requirements for 1000SX/LX SFP Module

It is more complex and comprehensive contrast to TP cabling in the fiber media. Basically, there are two categories of fiber, multi mode (MM) and single mode (SM). The later is categorized into several classes by the distance it supports. They are SX, LX, LHX, XD, and ZX. From the viewpoint of connector type, there are mainly LC and BIDI SC.
