The RJ-45 ports on the 10/100-TX GL Module, the 100/1000-T GL
Module, and the on the 100/1000-T Transceiver accept 100-ohm differ-
ential unshielded and shielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors
as described on the next page.
The SC-type connector port on the 100Base-FX Transceiver transmits
at 1300 nm wavelength, and accepts the multimode fiber-optic cables for
100Base-FX described on page B-3.
The SC-type connector port on the Gigabit-SX Transceiver and the LC-
type connector port on the Gigabit-SX LC mini-GBIC Transceiver
transmit at 850 nm wavelength, and accept the low metal content, multi-
mode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-SX described on page B-3.
The SC-type connector port on the Gigabit-LX Transceiver and the LC-
type connector port on the Gigabit-LX LC mini-GBIC Transceiver
transmit at 1300 nm wavelength, and accept the low metal content, single
mode or multimode fiber-optic cables for Gigabit-LX described on page
B-3.
