Network Cable Specifications for EX4600 Switches
EX4600 switches have interfaces that use various types of network cables.
Table 29 on page 73 lists the specifications forthe cables that connect the console (CON)
and management (MGMT) ports to management devices.
NOTE: The EX4600 can be configured with SFP management ports that
support 1000BASE-SX transceivers. See “Interface Specifications for SFP,
SFP+, and QSFP+ Transceivers for the EX4600 Switch” on page 49 for more
information about the fiber-optic cables required for use with these
transceivers.
