mini-GBIC and the 10/100/1000-T xl Modules
Gigabit-SX
operation:
multimode fiber-
optic cables fitted
with LC connectors
220 meters to 550
meters, depending on
the cable used. See
“Fiber-Optic Cables” on
page 34 for more
information.
Gigabit-LX
operation:
single-mode fiber-
optic cables fitted
with LC connectors.
multimode fiber-
optic cables may
also be used—see
“Fiber-Optic Cables”
on
page 34.
• single-mode cable: 10
kilometers
• multimode cable: 550
meters
Gigabit-LH
operation: the
same single-mode
fiber-optic cables
used for Gigabit-LX.
70 kilometers
Notes:
Gigabit-LX – If multimode cable is used, a mode conditioning patch cord may be needed — see “Mode
Conditioning Patch Cord” on
page 35 for more information.
Gigabit-LH – Between the transmit and receive ends of the cable, at least 5dB of attenuation is required for
a reliable connection. This is equivalent to 20Km of the fiber-optic cable. For distances less than 20Km, you
must add attenuators to bring the total attenuation to at least 5dB. Most cable vendors carry attenuators.
100-FX MTRJ xl Module
