Fiber-Optic Cables

Port Type Cable Specifications
62.5/125 mm or 50/125 μm (core/cladding)
Gigabit-SX
diameter, graded-index, low metal content,
multimode fiber-optic cables, complying
with the ITU-T G.651 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type
A1b or A1a respectively.
9/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, graded-
Gigabit-LX
index, low metal content, single mode fiber-
optic cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652
and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
OR
the multimode fiber-optic cables listed for
Gigabit-SX.
Note: To use multimode cables for Gigabit-LX, a mode conditioning patch cord may be needed - See the
Installation Guide that came with your module for more information.
Gigabit-LH 9/125 mm (core/cladding) diameter, graded-
index, low metal content, single mode fiber-
optic cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652
and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
Note: The transmission distances are dependent on the particular fiber loss and coupling loss involved,
among other factors, and can be estimated from the optical loss budget. For distances less than 20km,
a 10dB attenuator must be used. For distances between 20km and 40km, a 5dB attenuator must be used.
Attenuators can be purchased from most cable vendors.
62.5/125 μm or 50/125 μm (core/cladding)
100Base-
FX diameter, graded-index, low metal content,
multimode fiber-optic cables, complying
with the ITU-T G.651 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type
A1b or A1a respectively.
Note: MT-RJ connector is on the module or an LC connector on the SFP transceiver.
10-GbE SR Multimode fiber-optic cable designed for
Gigabit Ethernet: 62.5/125 μm (core/
cladding) diameter or 50/125 μm, low metal
content,
complying with the ITU-T G.652 and ISO/IEC
793-2 Type B1 standards.
