2-1-3. Cabling Requirements
To help ensure a successful installation and keep the network performance good, please take a care on the cabling requirement. Cables with worse specification will render the LAN to work poorly.
2-1-3-1. 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.
2-1-3-2. 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 mainly are LC and BiDi LC.
