Chapter 2 Ethernet Switching Modules

10 and 10/100 Fiber-Based Ethernet Modules

WS-X6324-100FX-MM and WS-X6324-100FX-SM Ethernet Modules

The WS-X6324-100FX-MM and the WS-X6324-100FX-SM Ethernet modules (Figure 2-3) provide 24

100-Mbps full- or half-duplex ports. The WS-X6324-100FX-MM Ethernet module operates over

multimode fiber-optic (MMF) cable and the WS-X6324-100FX-SM Ethernet module operates over

G.652 single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) cable. Table 2-5 lists both modules features, and Table 2-6 lists

both modules physical and environmental specifications.
