Switch to Hub or Switch 
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.  
•  A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable.  
•  A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the switch via a two-pair Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable. 
•  A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the switch via four-pair straight Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable.

Switch to Core Router Switch 
This connection can be accomplished using the following fiber optic media:  
•  SFP Transceiver for 1000BASE-LX Single-mode fiber module (10km) 
•  SFP Transceiver for 1000BASE-SX Multi-mode fiber module (550m) 
•  SFP Transceiver for 1000BASE-LHX Single-mode fiber module (40km) 
•  SFP Transceiver for 1000BASE-ZX Single-mode fiber module (80km)
