Switch Ports and Network Cables

 

This appendix includes switch connector information and network cable

 

information for cables that should be used with the Series 8200zl Switch,

 

including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair

 

cables.

 

 

N o t e

Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN

 

communications. It is recommended that you work with a qualified LAN cable

 

installer for assistance with your cabling requirements.

 

 

Switch Ports

Twisted Pair

The RJ-45 ports on the modules accept 100-ohm differential unshielded and shielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors as described on the next page.

Fiber-Optic

The LC-type connector port on the Gigabit-SXmini-GBICtransmits at 850 nm wavelength, and accepts the low metal content, multimode fiber- optic cables for Gigabit-SX described on page B-3.

The LC-type connector port on the Gigabit-LXmini-GBICtransmits at 1310 nm wavelength, and accepts the low metal content, single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LX described on page B-3.

The LC-type connector port on the Gigabit-LHmini-GBICtransmits at 1550 nm wavelength, and accepts the low metal content, single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LH described on page B-3.
