SFP Modules
The module bay accommodates a standard SFP module with an LC connector that is compatible
with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-X standard. SFP modules are sold separately. To install an SFP
module insert the SFP module into the module bay. Press firmly to ensure that the module seats
into the connector.

Connecting Equipment to the Switch
You can connect devices, an SPF Gigabit Ethernet module, and a console to the switch.
RJ-45 Ports
The switch uses Auto Uplink technology, which enables you to attach devices using either
straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
Note:
Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached
device to 328 feet (100 meters).
