2-4 Connecting to SDH/SONET Equipment RICi-622GE Ver. 1.0
2.6 Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet Equipment
RICi-622GE includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
RICi-622GE is connected to the Gigabit Ethernet equipment via fiber optic SFP or
8-pin RJ-45 electrical port. Refer to
Appendix A for the RJ-45 connector pinout.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports must be either both fiber optic interface or both
electrical interface.
³ To connect to the Gigabit Ethernet equipment with fiber optic SFP:
• Connect RICi-622GE to the Gigabit Ethernet network equipment using a
standard fiber optic cable terminated with an LC connector. Refer to
Installing
Fiber Optic SFP Modules
for details on installing fiber optic SFPs.

³ To connect to the Gigabit Ethernet equipment with a copper interface:
• Connect RICi-622GE to the Gigabit Ethernet network equipment using a
standard straight UTP/STP cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
When connecting Gigabit Ethernet cables longer than 30 meters (98 feet), it is
recommended to use shielded cables.
