CONNECTIVITY
The type of connectivity is dependent on the device fixed front-panel ports and the optional Ethernet
expansion module installed as described in the following sections.
1.2.1
1G582-09 Fixed Ports
The 1G582-09 connects to Ethernet networks or workstations via six fixed front panel RJ45
connectors. These ports support Category 5 cables with lengths up to 100 meters (328 feet). The
ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T compliant. There are also three
uplink Ethernet expansion ports for optional Ethernet expansion modules described in
Section
1.2.3.
1.2.2
1G587-09 Fixed Ports
The 1G587-09 connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through six 1000BASE-X fixed front
panel port slots. These port slots support Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic
connections via optional Mini-Gigabit Interface Cards (Mini-GBICs). There are also three uplink
Ethernet expansion ports for optional Ethernet expansion modules described in
1.2.3
Ethernet Expansion Modules
Depending on the device and Ethernet expansion module(s) installed, the uplinks can be
•
Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet via RJ45 connectors,
•
Ethernet 100 Mbps multimode fiber-optic via MT-RJ connectors,
•
Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbps via short or long wavelength GBIC fiber-optics SC connections, or
•
Ethernet 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connections via optional Mini-GBIC connections.

the type of physical connections.
CAUTION: The expansion modules are NOT hot-swappable. The switch must be
powered down before the expansion modules are installed or removed. Hot-swapping
the expansion modules while the switch is powered on could cause the device to stop
forwarding frames.
