SFP cages
The SFP cages are compatible with RJ45 or optical modules. They can operate at up to 1 Gb/s. The SFP cages allow to
extend the maximum link distance when using optical modules.
LS10 can work with OM3 ber optic cables with 1000BASE-SX SFP modules (LC connector, 850 nm). The maximum
link length is 550 m. The ber bending radius (maximum bending capacity) depends on the cable manufacturer
recommendation. In any case the ber bending radius must not be less than 15 times the cable's outside diameter.
L-Acoustics has tested the following the SFP modules:
• Avago AFBR-5710PZ
• FS SFP1G-SX-85
• Finisar FTLF8519P3BNL
USB
The female micro type USB port is used for maintenance operations and for switch conguration. Refer to Using Switch
Conguration Tool (p.25) for more information.
Ethernet connectors
The Ethernet etherCON I/Os allow to create a local area network (LAN) using Ethernet or Ethernet AVB devices such as
P1, LA4X or LA12X.
Multiple network topologies such as star and hybrid are congurable for L-NET or AVB networks. The computer and the
switches are connected to each other using industry standard cables tted with optical modules or RJ45 connectors.
Refer to the LA Network Manager Help for more information on how to create an L-NET or AVB network in star or
hybrid topologies.
