To connect Gigabit Ethernet devices to the copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC,
use a straight-through or crossover cable with an RJ-45 connector.
For details, see “Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC Connectors and Cables” on
page 65.
„
To connect Gigabit Ethernet devices to the fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet
NIC, use a multimode fiber-optic cable with an LC connector for each
NIC interface.
The destination end of the cable can be either LC or SC, depending on the
type of connector required for the destination Gigabit Ethernet device.
You can also use a half-duplex LC-to-LC cable to loopback the transmit
port of an interface to the receive port.
For details, see “Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC Connectors and
Cables” on page 68.
