Avaya P330 modules include the following types of ports (according to the speed
and standard they support): 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX and
1000Base-LX.
Note: To interconnect Avaya P330 switches with twisted pairs, crossed cables are
required.
• The maximum UTP cable length connected to a 10/100 Mbps port operating as
10Base-T, is 100 m (328 ft.).
• A UTP Category 5 cable must be connected to any 100Base-TX port, via an RJ45
connector. The maximum UTP cable length connected to a 10/100 Mbps port
operating as 100Base-TX, is 100 m (328 ft.).
• A fiberoptic cable must be connected to any 100Base-FX port, via a pair of SC
connectors. The maximum fiber cable length connected to a 100Base-FX port is
412 m (1,352 ft) when operating in half duplex, and 2 km (6,562 ft) when
operating in full duplex.
• The maximum length of fiber optic cable connected to a 12 fiber MT-RJ port is 2
