Product Overview
Hardware features
Combination ports
Copper ports 1 – 4 and fiber ports 1F – 4F are combination ports, meaning either the copper port or its corresponding fiber port can be
active, but both cannot be active at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports, all four copper, or all four fiber
ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence. These ports support
true media automatic detection, meaning the device will select the fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot
be established, the device will select the copper media.
10 Gbps ports
This section describes the 10 Gbps modules.
1-port 10 Gbps module
The 1-port 10 Gbps module is factory installed in the FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE (shown in Figure 4) and in the XGP -STK
models. This module is not field-upgradeable. This module is a 10 Gbps fiber uplink for 10-XFP MSA-compliant optical transceiver.
Figure 9 shows the 1-port 10 Gbps module. This module supports the 10 Gbps connector types (10GBase) listed in Table 3.

2-port 10 Gbps module
The 2-port 10 Gbps module (part number FGS-2XG) is optional for FGS and FGS-STK devices. You can order the device with one
2-port 10-Gigabit module installed at the factory, or you can upgrade your device at a later time.
Figure 10 shows the 2-port 10 Gbps module. This module supports the 10 Gbps connector types (10GBase) listed in Table 3.

2-port CX4 module
The 2-port CX4 module (part number FGS-2XGC) is optional for FGS and FGS-STK devices. You can order the device with a 2-port
CX4 module installed at the factory, or you can upgrade your device at a later time. Figure 11 shows a 2-port CX4 module.
