Cabling
Twisted-pair segment can be established by using 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 c
onnector 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.
