The port on the 1000BASE-SX Ethernet interface card accommodates a multimode fiber (MMF) cable that meets MMF standards. Select fiber cable for this interface as follows:

•50-micron MMF cable: provides a distance range of 500–550 meters (m)

•62.5-micron MMF cable: provides a distance range of 220–275 m

You can order a 10-foot MMF cable from Nortel:

•Order no. DM0011117 provides an LC-to-LC connector

•Order no. DM0011118 provides an LC-to-SC connector
