2.3.1 CONNECTIONS
For RJ45 connection use Category 5 (CAT5) or higher. Length should be no more than 100
meters.
For singlemode fiber connections, fiber used must be 9/125μm singlemode fiber.
For multimode fiber connections, fiber used must be 50/125μm or 62/125μm multimode fiber.
Plug in the appropriate connectors for system configuration;
–
RJ45 cable to fixed copper ports and copper SFP modules
–
LC or SC fiber cable to fiber SFP modules.
Redundant Ring Operation
The OSD2258EP connected in a redundant ring topology providing maximum reliability on
critical networks (up to 64 nodes per ring). In the event of device or fiber failure the data path
will automatically switch to a secondary path in less than 2ms per node to maintain ring
network integrity.
