Installing Cable
that the bend radius for fiber optic cable equal at least 5 cm (2 in) for each 90-degree turn as shown in
the diagram below - Bend Radius for Fiber Optic Cable.
Note
Kinks and sharp bends can destroy or impair the cable's ability to convey light pulses
accurately from one end of the cable to the other. Use care in dressing the optical fiber cables:
provide satisfactory strain relief to support the cable and maintain an adequate bend radius at
all cable turns, particularly where the cable connects to the I/O module.

Cable Distances and Types
Table 13 Cable Distances and Types below shows one example of cable media types and maximum
distances that support reliable transmission in accordance with international standards (except where
noted). Refer to Extreme Networks Pluggable Transceivers Installation Guide for descriptions of optics
and cables, as well as a complete list of supported cable lengths.
Refer to the Extreme Hardware/Software Compatibility and Recommendation Matrices for a list of the
cable types that are compatible with your equipment.
