1000BASE-SX/LX NETWORK

The fixed ports (1 through 8) are MT-RJ fiber optic ports that support 1000BASE-SX. The four

port sockets (9 through 12) support optional Mini-GBICs. The Mini-GBICs enable you to vary the

type of 1-Gbps ports. At the printing of this document there were three Mini-GBICs available: two

that support 1000BASE-SX and one that supports 1000BASE-LX fiber optic connections. The

device at the other end of the fiber connection must meet the 1-Gigabit Ethernet requirements for

the devices to operate at Gigabit speed.
