Fiber-Optic - HP ProCurve J4862A Install Manual

Port Type
62.5/125 �m or 50/125 �m (core/cladding)
100Base-FX
diameter, graded-index, low metal content,
multimode fiber-optic cables, complying with the SC - 100-FX
ITU-T G.651 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type A1b or A1a
respectively.
62.5/125 �m or 50/125 �m (core/cladding)
Gigabit-SX
diameter, graded-index, low metal content,
multimode fiber-optic cables, complying with the SC - Gigabit-SX
ITU-T G.651 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type A1b or A1a
respectively.
9/125 �m (core/cladding) diameter, 1310 nm, low
Gigabit-LX
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
"Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX" on page 24 for more information.
9/125 �m (core/cladding) diameter, 1310 nm, low
Gigabit-LH
metal content, single mode fiber-optic cables,
complying with the ITU-T G.652 and ISO/IEC
793-2 Type B1 standards.
Note: Between the transmit and receive ends of the cable, at least 5dB of attenuation is required for a
reliable connection. This is equivalent to 20Km of the fiber-optic cable. For distances less than 20Km,
you must add attenuators to bring the total attenuation to at least 5dB. Most cable vendors carry
attenuators.
