Cabling
• Twisted-pair segments can be Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the
IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000Base-T standard for Categor y 5e/6. The
cable between the conver ter and the link par tner (switch, hub,
workstation, etc.) must be 100 meters (328 ft.) or less in length.
• Fiber segments using Single Mode connectors must use 8/125 or
9/125 µm Single Mode fiber cable. The maximum link distance is
10 Kilometers (6.2 miles) in full duplex operation.
• The maximum distance of fiber segments using Multi-Mode
connectors measures 500 meters (1650 ft.) with 50/125µm or
220 meters (726 ft.) with 62.5/125µm Multi-Mode fiber cable.

LED Indicators
There are six diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of these
conver ters. The LEDs provide real-time information on system
status. The indicators include Power, SPD, FDX/COL, and LK/ACT
(UTP and fiber). The following table provides describes these LEDs.
