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’s LNP-0802C-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 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 the 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 will be linked down.
