1000BASE-SX NETWORK (FIXED FRONT PANEL PORTS)
The fixed front panel ports of the 5G106-06 module provide a Gigabit Ethernet connection that
supports fiber connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) for 1000BASE-SX compliancy. The
device at the other end of the fiber connection must meet IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet
requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed. When connecting a 1000BASE-SX
segment to any of the module ports (3 through 6), ensure that the network meets the Ethernet
network requirements of the IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BASE-SX.
2.4
1000BASE-SX/LX NETWORK (GPIMs)
The optional GPIMs for the 5G106-06 that can be installed in ports 1 and 2 provide a Gigabit
Ethernet connection that, when using the GPIM-01, GPIM-08, or GPIM-09, support fiber
connections operating at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Other GPIMs may support different types of
cabling connections. The device at the other end of the fiber connection must meet IEEE 802.3z
Gigabit Ethernet requirements for the devices to operate at Gigabit speed. When connecting a
1000BASE-SX/LX segment to any of the module ports (1 through 6), as installed, ensure that the
network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3z standard for
1000BASE-SX/LX. Refer to
Appendix C
for further details on the GPIMs.
