Switch Ports and Network Cables
This appendix includes switch connector information and network cable
information for cables that should be used with the Series 5400zl Switches,
including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair
cables.
Note Incorrectly wired cabling is the most common cause of problems for LAN
communications. It is recommended that you work with a qualified LAN cable
installer for assistance with your cabling requirements.
Switch Ports
Twisted Pair
■ The RJ-45 ports on the modules accept 100-ohm differential unshielded
and shielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors as described on the
next page.
Fiber-Optic
■ The LC-type connector port on the Gigabit-SX mini-GBIC transmits at
850 nm wavelength, and accepts the low metal content, multimode fiber-
optic cables for Gigabit-SX described on page B-3.
■ The LC-type connector port on the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC transmits at
1310 nm wavelength, and accepts the low metal content, single-mode or
multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LX described on page B-3.
■ The LC-type connector port on the Gigabit-LH mini-GBIC transmits at
1550 nm wavelength, and accepts the low metal content, single-mode or
multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LH described on page B-3.
