1000Base-T Ports; 100Base-Fx/1000Base-Sx/Lx Fiber Ports - Enterasys Vertical Horizon VH-2402S2 Hardware Installation Manual

1000Base-T Ports

The 1000Base-T ports use RJ-45 connectors. Figure 2-6 shows an
RJ-45 connector being inserted into a port.
The RJ-45 port on the VHIM1000-S1TX module operates at 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex, with support for auto-
negotiation of speed, duplex mode and flow control. This 1000Base-T
port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-
through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other
switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1-8, at one end of the
cable, are connected straight through to pins 1-8 at the other end of the
cable. Use 100-ohm Category 5 or 5e unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for all connections. For 1000Base-T
operation, the port requires that all four pairs of wires be connected.

100Base-FX/1000Base-SX/LX Fiber Ports

The 100Base-FX and 1000Base-SX/LX fiber ports use SC connectors.
Figure 2-7 shows an SC fiber connector being inserted into a fiber port on
the VH-2402S2.

The fiber uplink modules employed (Table 2-7) support multi-mode 62.5/
125µm fiber and single-mode 10/125µm fiber. The 100Base-FX and
1000Base-SX/LX ports use SC fiber connectors. The fiber connectors are
configured as a receive (RX) / transmit (TX) pair.
