Specifications
Connectors
The ports on the 10/100-TX XL Module are compatible with the IEEE
802.3 10Base-T and 802.3u 100Base-TX standards and accept the 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps cables listed below.
The ports on the 100/1000-T XL Module are compatible with the IEEE
802.3u 100Base-TX and IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standards, and accept
the 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps cables listed below. For 1000 Mbps operation,
Category 5E twisted-pair cable is recommended.
The port on the SX-LC mini-GBIC, which can be installed in the mini-
GBIC XL Module, transmits at 850 nm wavelength, and is compatible
with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit-SX standard. It accepts the low metal
content, multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-SX described on the
next page.
The port on the LX-LC mini-GBIC, which can be installed in the mini-
GBIC XL Module, transmits at 1300 nm wavelength, and is compatible
with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit-LX standard. It accepts the low metal
content, single mode or multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LX
described on the next page.
