RJ-45 Signal DB-9 Signal Ethernet twisted pair cable An Ethernet twisted pair cable consists of four pairs of insulated wires twisted together. It mainly transmits analog signals and is advantageous in transmitting data over shorter distances. The maximum transmission distance is 100 m (328.08 ft). RJ-45 connector An Ethernet twisted pair cable connects network devices through the RJ-45 connectors at the two ends.

• Single mode fiber—It has a core size of 10 µm or smaller, and has a lower modal dispersion. It carries only a single ray of light. It is mostly used for communication over longer distances. • Multi-mode fiber—It has a core size of 50 µm or 62.5 µm or higher, and has a higher modal dispersion than single-mode optical fiber.
Figure 5 MPO connector Figure 6 LC connector Precautions • Make sure the fiber connector and fiber type match the transceiver module type. • The fiber ports on the switch are provided with dust plugs. Insert the dust plugs into the fiber ports that you are not to use, to prevent particles from entering the ports.
