GPIM-09 Connection Using Multimode Cable
NOTE: When using multimode fiber-optic cable for the GPIM-09 (long wavelength
transceiver), connect the Launch Mode Conditioning cable as detailed in the following
procedure. The following procedure is not needed when connecting single mode
fiber-optic cable to the GPIM-09. Launch Mode Conditioning cables are available from
Enterasys Networks.
To connect the GPIM-09 to the network using multimode fiber-optic cables, refer to
and proceed as follows:
1. Connect a Launch Mode Conditioning cable
