Gigabit Ethernet Modules

Gigabit Ethernet Modules
Gigabit Ethernet connections can be used as network backbones or in a wiring closet. The
following Omni Switch/Router Gigabit Ethernet modules are available:
•

GSX-K-FM/FS/FH-2W

This module is described and illustrated in the following sections.
GSX-K-FM/FS/FH-2W

1000Base-SX (short-distance fiber transmission ports). The

more information). The intermediate-reach single mode version is referred to as the

The ports are color coded to differentiate the mode: multimode connectors are black, long-
haul single mode connectors are yellow, and intermediate-reach single mode connectors are
blue. (See Handling Fiber and Fiber Optic Connectors on page 3-10 for proper handling of
connectors and fiber-optic cable.)
