Installing the SMC6624M Switch
Installation Procedures
Installing the SMC6624M
Switch
■ Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
• In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for
the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
• In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space
for the power cord.
• On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling,
except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
100Base-FX
(on the
SMC6624FMSC
module)
62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm core/cladding
diameter, graded-index, multimode fiber-optic
cables that are fitted with SC connectors
• 2 kilometers for full-duplex connections
1000Base-SX
(on the
SMC6624GSSC
module)
62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm core/cladding
diameter, graded-index, multimode fiber-optic
cables that are fitted with SC connectors
• 62.5 µm cable:
– 160 MHz*km = 220 meters
– 200 MHz*km = 275 meters
• 50 µm cable:
– 400 MHz*km = 500 meters
– 500 MHz*km = 550 meters
1000Base-LX
(on the
SMC6624GLSC
module)
Single-mode cables fitted with SC connectors.
62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm core/cladding
diameter, graded-index, multimode fiber-optic
cables may also be used, but a mode
conditioning patch cord may be needed — see
the Installation Guide that came with the
module for more information.
• single-mode cable - 5 kilometers
• multimode cable - 550 meters
