ONNECTIONS
The Summit1 provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports. Six of the ports are Þxed
1000Base-SX ports using 850nm duplex SC connectors. Two of the ports are modular,
and support the standard Gigabit Interface Connector (GBIC). This enables you to select
various types of Þber and copper modules to support longer distances or lower cost.
The Summit1 can be ordered with either two 1000Base-SX or two 1000Base-LX GBIC
transceivers already installed. GBIC transceivers can also be ordered separately.
