Optional Media Extender Modules

Optional 1000BASE-T Module

Figure 1-4. Single-Port 1000BASE-T Module

Using Category 5, 5e, or 6 twisted-pair cable you can connect to another device up

to 100 m (328 ft) away. The 1000BASE-T module operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps. At

1000 Mbps it operates at full duplex and supports auto-negotiation of speed and

flow control. At 10/100 Mbps it supports auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode

(i.e., half or full duplex), and flow control. Note that you should first test the cable

installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable Requirements”

on page B-5.

Optional 1000BASE-SX Module

Figure 1-5. Single-Port 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Module

Using multimode fiber optic cable, the 1000BASE-SX port can be connected to a

remote site up to 550 m (1805 ft) away. The 1000BASE-SX Gigabit module operates

at 1 Gbps, with support for full-duplex mode and flow control.
