HP ProCurve High-Speed Transceivers
Installation Guide

Introduction

The HP ProCurve High-Speed Transceivers can be installed into a number 
of HP ProCurve networking devices to provide 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps 
connections to other compatible network devices.

This document describes how to install, verify, and troubleshoot the 
following HP ProCurve High-Speed Transceivers:

Use these transceivers for the following network connectivity:

Gigabit-SX transceiver—1000 Mbps operation over multimode fiber-
optic cable

Gigabit-LX transceiver—1000 Mbps operation over either single-
mode or multimode fiber-optic cable

100/1000-T transceiver—1000 or 100 Mbps operation over Category 
5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair 
(STP) cables

100-FX SC transceiver—100 Mbps operation over multimode fiber-
optic cable

For more information on the cables used with these transceivers and the 
supported cable lengths, see page 4.
