FiberOptic Switches
Quick Installation Guide
This quick installation guide provides instructions for installing a
FiberOptic Switch.
1-1 Introducing the FiberOptic Switches
SIIG's line of fiber optic switches are standard switches that meet all
IEEE 802.3u/802.3X standards. A Fast Ethernet Switch is a cost-
effective solution for easing your network congestion problems on
existing shared-hub network by breaking up the collision domain
and by multiplying the network performance. The overall network
transmission speed is increased and the network efficiency is improved
to accommodate high-bandwidth applications, such as imaging
multimedia, and CAD/CAM, etc.
The following models are available :
• FiberOptic Switch 4000-ST (4 ST fiber ports )
• FiberOptic Switch 4000-SC (4 SC fiber ports)
• FiberOptic Switch 4000-MT (4 MT-RJ fiber ports)
• FiberOptic Switch 8020-ST (8 TP & 2 ST fiber ports)
• FiberOptic Switch 8020-SC (8 TP & 2 SC fiber ports)
