pay attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This
means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable
connect IE-SW-VL09-Switches to other Ethernet devices.
Fiber Ports
Fiber switched ports operate at a fixed 100 Mbps speed and full-duplex mode
to provide the best performance. The fiber ports are factory-built as either a
multi-mode or single-mode SC/ST connector.
Consequently, you should use fiber cables that have SC/ST connectors at both
ends. When plugging the connector into the port, make sure the slider guide is
posit
ioned to the right side so that it fits snuggly into the port.
