Installation Location
Before installing the switch, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment:
■ In the front of the switch, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the
twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
■ In the back of the switch, allow at least 10.2 cm (4 inches) of space for the
power cord and cooling.
■ On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
10-GbE SR Multimode fiber-optic cable designed for
Gigabit Ethernet: 62.5/125 µm (core/cladding)
diameter or 50/125 µm, 850 nm, low metal
content, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
■ 62.5 µm cable:
• 160 Mhz/km = 2-26 meters
• 200 Mhz/km = 2-33 meters
■ 50 µm cable:
• 400 Mhz/km = 2-66 meters
• 500 Mhz/km = 2-82 meters
• 2000 Mhz/km = 2-300 meters
