• Wire Ethernet 1100/1000 BaseT Copper
o
Media – CAT5E or CAT6 Cable with maximum segment length of 100 meters
• Optical Ethernet 1000Base-X Optical
o
1000Base-SX Media – Short Haul multi-mode optic fiber (MMF) with
maximum segment length of 220 meters (62.5/125μm type) or 550 meters
(50/125μm type)
o
1000Base-LX Media – Long Haul single-mode optic fiber (SMF) with
maximum segment length of 10000 meters
• Connectivity
o
Connectivity is Point-to-Point using 100/1000 Switches
o
Low latency network. If the DHCP takes too long (over 3 minutes) to assign IP
addresses to controls, it may cause lost communication alarms when controls
reset.
• Equipment
o
Wire Switch serves for Ethernet switching over wire connectivity

Could be with preinstalled specific Optic Transceiver (short or long
haul)

Could be with the SFP port, serving for pluggable SFP Optic
Transceiver
o
SFP Transceiver pluggable device serving to transmit data over optic fiber

1000Base-SX SFP serves for multi-mode optic fiber (MMF) of

62.5/125μm type or 50/125μm type

1000Base-LX SFP serves for single-mode optic fiber (SMF)
o
Media Converters server for converting from optics to wire and vice versa.
This is used for segments over 100 meters / 330 feet.

• The switch is wired to the router and modem to access the Internet.
• Switches can be wired to each other by Ethernet cables, each one splitting off to
other devices.
• Gigabit switches support 100 and 1,000 Mbps.
