2 Gigabit Copper/SFP (Mini-GBIC) combo port:
The Industrial switch has two auto-detected Giga port—UTP/STP/Fiber combo ports.
The Gigabit Copper (10/100/1000T) ports should use Category 5e or above UTP/STP
cable for the connection up to 1000Mbps. The SFP slots supporting dual mode can
switch the connection speed between 100 and 1000Mbps. They are for connecting to
the network segment with single or multi-mode fiber. You can choose the appropriate
mini-GBIC module to plug into the slots. You can use proper multi-mode or single-mode
fiber according to the used SFP module. With fiber optic, it transmits speed up to 1000
Mbps and you can prevent noise interference from the system and transmission distance
up to 110 km, depending on the mini-GBIC module.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical
communications for both telecommunication and data communications applications.
Note
The SFP/Copper Combo port can be used at one time either. The SFP port
has the higher priority than copper port; if you insert the 1000M SFP
transceiver into the SFP port which is connected to the remote device, the
connection of the accompanying copper port will link down.
If you insert the 100M SFP transceiver into the SFP port even without a fiber
connection to the remote, the connection of the accompanying copper port will
link down immediately.
