Gigabit Ethernet SpectraFlow Modules
The system supports connection to Gigabit Ethernet networks using these
modules:
These modules connect to the network using an ADC-provided fiber-optic
cable. This fiber optic cable consists of a duplex SC connector on one end
and an AMP MPX connector on the other end. Connect the module to the
network by installing a fiber module backplate on the selected slot, then
inserting the AMP MPX connector into the blind-mate fiber port located on
the backplate. Cabling to the backplate and not to the module itself allows
you to remove and replace the module without re-cabling. It also allows you
to cable slots in advance.
These single-port modules comply with IEEE 802.3z specifications. Table 1-4
shows the transmission ranges for the 1000BASE-SX modules.
