switch or hub. See the section “10/100 Module Cabling” in

Using a Patch Cord with the GBICs
When using the LX/LH GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter multimode fiber
(MMF), you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord (Cisco product number
CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the GBIC and the MMF cable on both
the transmit and receive ends of the link for link distances greater than 984 feet
(300 meters).
Note You must use the patch cord to comply with the IEEE 802.3z
standards. Using the LX/LH GBIC with MMF and no patch cord for
very short link distances (tens of meters) is not recommended. The
result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).
