Cross Over Cable Schematic
Cabling
Twisted-pair segment can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable between the link partner
(switch, hub, workstation, etc.) and the converter must be less than 100
meters (328 ft.) long and comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T
standard for Category 5e or above.
Fiber segment using single-
mode connector type must use 9/125μm
single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the distance of
10 km. Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use
50/125
or 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices up to 550m distances.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver
used in optical communications for both telecommunication and data
communication applications.
To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow the steps shown
below:
First, insert the transceiver into the SFP module. Notice that the triangle
mark is the bottom of the module.
