2.11.2 GBIC Gigabit Ethernet Ports Cabling Procedures
Cabling requirements for the GBIC Gigabit Ethernet modules de-
pend on the type of GBIC interface installed. Use the following
guidelines to determine the cabling requirements for your GBIC:
•
1000BaseSX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors;
62.5-micron multimode fiber (MMF) media up to 275 me-
ters (902 feet) long, or 50-micron MMF media up to 550
meters (1805 feet) long
•
1000BaseLX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors;
10-micron singlemode fiber media up to 5 kilometers
(16,405 feet) long
•
1000BaseLH GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors;
10-micron singlemode fiber media up to 20 kilometers
(65,617 feet) long
•
1000BaseLX Long Haul GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber
connectors; 10-micron singlemode fiber media up to 100
kilometers (328,100 feet) long
•
1000BaseLZ GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors;
10-micron singlemode fiber media up to 120 kilometers
(393,701 feet) long
•
1000BaseT: Category 5 or better UTP cable to a distance
of 100 meters (328.1 feet) long
When attaching a workstation to the device, a standard straight-
through CAT5 cable may be used, even when the workstation is
attached via a patch panel. No crossover cable is needed with the
MDX/MDI ports. It is recommended that the switch be kept off the
network until proper IP settings have been set.
2.12 Connecting to a Console
To connect the switch to a console or computer, set up the system
in the following manner:
1. Plug power cord into the back of switch.
2. Attach a straight-through serial cable between the RS232 con-
sole port and a COM port on the PC.
3. Set up a HyperTerminal (or equivalent terminal program) in the
following manner:
