Installation Guidelines
When determining where to place the switch, be sure to observe these
requirements:
•
For 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected
devices are up to 328 feet (100 meters).
•
Copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules use standard four twisted-pair, Category
5 cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).
•
Table 3-1
lists the cable specifications for 1000BASE-SX and
1000BASE-LX fiber-optic SFP connections. Each port must match the
wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must
not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
•
Operating environment is within the ranges listed in
Appendix A, “Technical
Specifications.”
•
Clearance to front and rear panels is such that
–
Front-panel indicators can be easily read.
–
Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules,
and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the
LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the
SFP module and the MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is
required for link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m).
