3. Sensor: Network Port and Cabling Requirements
Fidelis Network Sensors are designed to process different traffic capacities and different types of
network connections, including: 1GbE, 10GbE, 1Gb-SX, and 10Gb-SR. Each appliance must be
connected to the various networks with appropriate cables and in some cases, SFP+ transceivers.
The tables below describe the physical connection and cable type associated with each port on the
appliance.
