Console Port - TP-Link T2600G-28TS Installation Manual

appropriate SFP module over the available optical fiber type such as multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber.
Multi-mode fibers generally have a larger core diameter, and are used for short-distance communication
links and for applications where high power must be transmitted. Single-mode fibers are used for most
communication links longer than 1,050 meters that is 3,440 feet.
T2600G-28TS and T2600G-52TS are compatible with all kinds of gigabit SFP modules including sigle-
mode and multi-mode. The transmission distance and the type of optical fiber are determined by the SFP
module you choose. Here you are recommanded to choose the SFP modules produced by TP-LINK, which
can perfectly enlarge the bandwidth and extend your network.
The following table shows the detailed information of two SFP modules (TL-SM311LS and TL-SM311LM)
produced by TP-LINK, which makes you have a round idea about it so as to give you a reference for
choosing the suitable SFP module.

Note: For security, please wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing or removing the
SFP module. For detailed information, please refer to Chapter 3 Lightning Protection.

4.3 Console Port

CLI (Command Line Interface) enables you to manage the switch, thus you can load
the CLI after connecting the PCs or Terminals to the console port on the switch via the
provided cable.
Connect the Console (RJ-45) port of the device with your computer by the console
cable as the following figure shows.
