2.6 Cabling
Use the four twisted-pair, category 5e, or the above cabling for the RJ-45 port connections. The
cable between the switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than
100 meters (328 ft.) in length.
2.6.1 Gigabit Combo Port - Copper/SFP (Mini-GBIC)
Antaira Technologies’ LNX-1002C-SFP series has two auto-detected Gigabit combo ports
(2*10/100/1000Tx RJ45 and 2*100/1000 SFP slots for fiber connection).
 The Gigabit copper
(10/100/1000T) ports
should use category 5e or
the above UTP/STP cable
for the connection up to
1000Mbps. The small
form-factor pluggable
(SFP) is a compact optical
transceiver used in optical
communications for both
telecommunication and
data communications.
 The SFP slots support
dual rate mode, which can
switch the connection speed between 100 and 1000Mbps. They are used for
connecting to the network segment with a single or multi-mode fiber. Users must first
choose the appropriate SFP transceiver to plug into the slots, and then choose the
proper multi-mode or single-mode fiber according to the transceiver being used. When
fiber optic is used, it transmits at a speed up to 1000 Mbps and it can prevent noise
interference from the system.
**Note:
The Gigabit combo ports (SFP/Copper) cannot be working at the same time. The SFP port
has a higher priority than the copper port. When inserting a 100M or 1000M SFP transceiver
(which has connected to the remote device via fiber cable) into the SFP port, the connection of
the accompanying copper port link will be down.
