Port Type
Gigabit-SX 62.5/125 mm or 50/125 mm (core/
cladding) diameter, low metal
content, graded-index, multimode
fiber-optic cables that are fitted
with SC connectors. The cables
must comply with the ITU-T G.651
and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type A1b or A1a
standards.
9/125 mm (core/cladding) diameter,
Gigabit-LX
1310 nm, low metal content, single-
mode fiber-optic cables fitted with
SC connectors. The cables must
comply with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
The multimode cables specified for
the Gigabit-SX Transceiver may
also be used, but a mode
conditioning patch cord may be
needed — see "Mode Conditioning
Patch Cord" on page 9 for more
information.
62.5/125 mm or 50/125 mm (core/
100-FX SC
cladding) diameter, low metal
content, graded-index, multimode
fiber-optic cables that are fitted
with SC connectors. The cables
must comply with the ITU-T G.651
and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type A1b or A1a
standards.
100/1000-T Category 5 or better, 100-ohm UTP
or STP balanced cable. For 1000
Mbps (gigabit) operation, Category
5E cabling or better is
recommended.
Note: For 1000 Mbps operation, all
four wire pairs are used for data
transmissions. Please see the Note
on 1000Base-T Cable
Requirements on the next page.

Cable Type
Fiber-Optic Cables
• 62.5 mm cable:
– 160 MHz*km = 220 meters
– 200 MHz*km = 275 meters
• 50 mm cable:
– 400 MHz*km = 500 meters
– 500 MHz*km = 550 meters
• single-mode cable: 10 kilometers
• multimode cable: 550 meters
• 2 kilometers for full-duplex
connections
• 412 meters for half-duplex
connections
Note: The Series 2300 and 2500
switches do not allow half-duplex
operation for the transceivers.
Twisted-Pair Cables
100 meters
Note: The HP Procurve 100/1000-T
Transceiver is compatible with the
IEEE 802.3ab standard including the
"Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature, which
allows you to use either straight-
through or crossover twisted-pair
cables for connection go any network
device including end nodes, such as
computers, or to other switches,
hubs, and routers.
