– 1000BASE-T (GigE, front panel, RJ-45 physical port, UTP cable).
– 1000BASE-SX (GigE, front panel, LC physical port, multi-mode 850nM (SX) fiber-optic links
using LC physical connectors).
– 1000BASE-LX (GigE, front panel, LC physical port, multi-mode 1300nM (LX/LH) fiber-optic
links using LC physical connectors).
• For the 4404 controller, up to four of the following connections are supported in any combination:
– 1000BASE-T (GigE, front panel, RJ-45 physical port, UTP cable).
– 1000BASE-SX (GigE, front panel, LC physical port, multi-mode 850nM (SX) fiber-optic links
using LC physical connectors).
