2.6 Cabling
Use the four twisted-pair, category 5e, or the above cabling for 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.) long.
2.6.1 Gigabit Combo Port - Copper/SFP (Mini-GBIC)
Antaira Technologies’ LNP-1002C-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 supporting
dual rate mode, which can
switch the connection speed between 100 and 1000Mbps. They are used for connecting
to the network segment with a single or multi-mode fiber. Users can choose the
appropriate SFP transceiver to plug into the slots. Then use proper multi-mode or single-
mode fiber according to the transceiver. 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 a 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 link will be down.
