mini-GBIC and the 10/100/1000-T xl Modules
Gigabit-SX
operation:
multimode fiber-optic
cables fitted with LC
connectors
220 meters to 550 meters,
depending on the cable
used. See “Fiber-Optic
Cables” on page 31 for
more information.
Gigabit-LX
operation:
single-mode fiber-
optic cables fitted with
LC connectors.
multimode fiber-optic
cables may also be
used—see “Fiber-
Optic Cables” on
page 31.
• single-mode cable: 10
kilometers
• multimode cable: 550
meters
Gigabit-LH
operation: the same
single-mode fiber-
optic cables used for
Gigabit-LX.
70 kilometers
Notes:
Gigabit-LX – If multimode cable is used, a mode conditioning patch cord may be needed — see “Mode Conditioning
Patch Cord” on page 32 for more information.
Gigabit-LH – Between the transmit and receive ends of the cable, at least 5dB of attenuation is required for a reliable
connection. This is equivalent to 20Km of the fiber-optic cable. For distances less than 20Km, you must add attenuators
to bring the total attenuation to at least 5dB. Most cable vendors carry attenuators.
100-FX MTRJ xl Module
multimode fiber-optic
cables fitted with
MT-RJ connectors.
See “Fiber-Optic
Cables” on page 31 for
