CHAPTER 3: Hardware Description
3.1.1 1000BASE-T P
ORT
The 1000BASE-T port (
❷
in Figure 3-1)is an RJ-45 connector. It supports
1000-Mbps network speeds and operates in full duplex transfer mode. This port
also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives true plug-and-play
capability—just plug in the network cable and the port will adjust according to the
end node device. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for Category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
3.1.2 1000BASE-SX/LX P
ORT
The 1000BASE-SX/LX port (
❶
in Figure 3-1) is a pair of SX or LX connectors. It
adds a fiber Gigabit Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE
802.3z, this port transmits data at 1000 Mbps in full duplex mode across distances
of up to 726 feet (221.3 m) over multimode fiberoptic cable (LG1713A-SX) or up
to 33,000 feet (10 km) over single-mode fiberoptic cable (LG1713A-LX). The fiber
port has NWay support and a pair of SC connectors.
3.2 Rear-Panel DIP Switch, Connector, and LED
Figure 3-2 shows the converter’s rear-panel switch, connector, and LED. Table 3-2
describes these components.
