The 100BASE-FX fiber media adapter uses a multimode fiber connector to
provide direct connection to other compatible Fast Ethernet devices over
62.5/125 m multimode fiber optic cabling. Connection to the 100BASE-FX port
is through a standard SC connector, shown in
media adapter can be used as a direct attachment to end stations, servers, switches,
or repeaters where multimode fiber optic cabling is already installed.

Connecting to the Console Port
The serial console interface is an RS-232 port that enables a connection to a PC or
terminal for monitoring and configuring the switch. You can also connect this port
to an external modem to enable remote dial-in management of the switch. The
port is implemented as a data communication equipment (DCE) connection, using
a male DB-9 connector.
