FIBER OPTIC SFP DEVICES
An optional SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, or
100BASE-FX) can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for
connecting to a high-speed server.
Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber optic cable
with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic port requires 50/
125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector at
both ends.
